🐄 DECA COW 2026!! 🐄

On July 12th and 13th, Badger DECA Officers had the opportunity to attend the Chapter Opportunity Workshop in Madison, Wisconsin. ‼️

On day 1️⃣, we began our “Goosechase” Scavenger Hunt around the downtown Madison area. Next, we participated in the “Amazing Race” challenge against numerous other DECA Chapters in James Madison Park. 🌳 That night, the officers attended opening session, had chapter dinner, and took part in games during Cowpardy! We then ended our night with a much needed sweet treat at Insomnia Cookies! 🍪 🍦

On day 2️⃣, we began our morning with a chapter breakfast at Marigold Kitchen. 🌼 Afterwards, we attended 3 different leadership workshops led by the Wisconsin State DECA Officers, followed by competitive preparation such as practice role plays and exams. 📝 Wrapping up COW, we ended our day with closing session and chapter lunch!

Congratulations to Talulah Nast and Kalan Hladik for medaling in their practice role plays! 🎉🎉
