With another FFA State Convention in the books, the Elgin FFA members have lot’s to be proud of this year. The theme for this year’s Nebraska state convention was “Unwritten” and the members listened to the State Officers as well as several keynote speakers speak to this topic. One of the biggest highlights of the convention was listening to Nebraska volleyball coach John Cook give some inspirational tips as well as praise Nebraskans, especially those working in agricultural industries, on their work ethic and genuine characteristics.
