St. Edward FFA reviews National Convention

Body
On Friday, we started heading home from Indy. We were in the van for too long, before getting to the Caterpillar Museum in Peoria, Illinois. We saw some of the history of construction vehicles and how Caterpillar has evolved. We then got shoved back in the van for a few more hours, before stopping at the World’s Largest Truck Stop. There, we killed some time by looking around where there were stores, truck parts, a catering area, and even Dairy Queen. After that, we went to Fireside Winery in Iowa to learn about the winemaking process and how it is growing in the US. Finally, after being shoved into the van one last time for the day, we made it to Des Moines to sleep for the night with the final destination of home on Saturday.

St. Edward FFA trip to National Convention

Body
Day 1 - By Rebekah Ketelsen. On Monday, Oct. 21, five St. Edward FFA members began their trip to the National FFA Convention by traveling to St. Louis, MO. They visited the Gateway Arch and learned how it was made, when it was made, and who created it. They toured the arch and took the ride to the top. The elevator was a combination of an elevator, a Ferris wheel, and an escalator. This unique combination of these items involves the enclosed space of the elevator, the tilting of the car from the Ferris wheel, and the diagonal approach from the escalator. After the arch tour, they went to the hotel and enjoyed a meal to round out the day.
