On Tuesday, December 20th, the regional competitions for the Best Informed Greenhand (BIG) Career Development Event (CDE) and the FFA Creed were held in Windom.
For the BIG Team competition, members took a written 50 question test to show their knowledge of FFA facts, parliamentary procedure, history, and important people in FFA.
The Sleepy Eye team placed 3rd at the Region VI Contest out of 12 teams. The members of the BIG team included: Lucia Martinez (5th place individual), Kayden Klein (6th place individual), Ari Krzmarzick, Sam Price, Alex Confer, Logan Ludewig, Destiney Dittbenner, Daniel Armstrong, Charlie Hoffmann, Carter Lazatin, Noah Rossbach, Hannah Meyer, McCoy Marti, and Andre Ramos.
Andrew Ramos also competed in the FFA Creed Leadership Development Event. For this event, Andrew memorized the 5 paragraph FFA Creed. The contest is judged on the presentation of the FFA Creed and 5 minutes of questions based on the creed’s meaning. Andrew did a great job, placing 6th out of 12 competitors.
All of these greenhands will compete at the State FFA Convention in April for the Best Informed Greenhand State Contest!
