Area 8 - Iredell & Valley Mills FFA
"From some of the smallest schools came a group of students ready to engage and excited to learn more about FFA. Though not many of them, these students' energy had lifted the whole evening. With a willingness to learn and no fear of trying something new, these members enjoyed spending time with us as we discussed opportunities. I even had the honor of teaching a few of them their first-line dance." - Paris Sanchez
Area 9 - Lufkin FFA
"There is nothing like returning to a chapter that provides the same memories, laughs, and emotions as returning home does. Visiting with the Lufkin FFA chapter officers was among my favorite memories from fall travel. They welcomed Isaac, Elise, and me as family and reminded me that sometimes it's ok to laugh and express yourself however you need. Thank you Lufkin FFA!" - Cheyenne Cooley
Area 10 - Jourdanton FFA
"Our time with the Jourdanton FFA chapter made us feel right at home. Outside of the workshop, we enjoyed talking over root beer floats and truly getting to know the members of this chapter. We had so much fun making numerous TikToks and taking endless BeReals. While Jourdanton may be small, their spirit is mighty, and we are beyond thankful to have witnessed how incredible they are!" - Blake Koether
Area 11 - Gonzales FFA
"Gonzales FFA welcomed us with over 200 high-energy students eager to get involved! We started with the wave during our workshop and had an awesome Q&A session at the end. We concluded our visit chatting with the chapter officers over lunch and left confident in the future of Gonzales FFA!" - Elise Sharp
Area 12 - Salado FFA
"One of the most fun and entertaining chapters I've ever had the opportunity to join! The Salado FFA officer team was full of energy and amazing personalities. One of the sweetest and most selfless things was the dinner they prepared. It meant so much that they all came together to plan and prepare a meal for my teammates and me. I will forever be grateful for this memory and the many laughs shared with these officers, members, and amazing ag teachers. Salado FFA, you hold such a special place in my heart!" - Rylee Sassenberg
