Brainerd Alumni Picnic

On my way up to Deep Portage for SGLC, Katie, Cindy and I were fortunate to have the opportunity to stop at the 3rd Annual Brainerd Alumni Picnic.

Wow, is all I could say from the moment I walked in.  For the past 3 years the Alumni here in Brainerd have been putting on a summer festival were members of the community come together for fun, food, baked goods, and an auction.  All the money raised keeps the local FFA Chapter going strong.

One of the highlights of this expedition was when Katie, Cindy and I were able to talk with Greg Gosen, MN FFA Alumni President.  His inspiring words made me, once again, remember why agriculture is so important!

This was a great way to kick off a week of camp!
