The Columbia FFA Chapter had a great day at the Illinois State FFA Convention in Springfield! Members attended the Third General Session and listened to Illinois State FFA Treasurer Kaydance Wooton's retiring address, reflecting on her year of service and leadership.

After the session, members explored the College and Career Fair, learning about future educational and career opportunities. Before heading home, we wrapped up the day with a chapter lunch at Chili's.

It was a great day filled with leadership, learning, and fun, and a wonderful experience enjoyed by all!
