HLWW Beach Party

Between SLCCL and SPC Katie Zenk and I had the fun opportunity to go to Cokato, Minnesota to attend Howard Lake Waiverly Winstead's Beach Party.  

After making our way through numerous detours we found ourself there.  The Beach party is put on by the chapter.  They have a chapter meeting, followed by a cookout, and then a party at the beach.  They held the party at Justin Crowley's beach house.  Current and prospective members attend this even. We met Rachael Dahlman and Cindy Young at Justin's house.  

It was great to see some familiar faces.  Some members had attend the state camps this summer.  Other members I was introduced to.  I always enjoy meeting new people.  Carl took me out for a ride on the jet ski.  After he made me fall off twice he told me that Winnie had told him to knock me off.  When we got back to the dock Winnie had left.

We then sat around and talked to some of the members.  It was great to chat about our chapters.  I enjoyed talking with Doreen and Crystal for a bit as they just got back from play practice.  HLWW, congrats on a successful event.  It would defiantly keep me in the FFA!

Overall it was another great experience as a state officer for me.  This is one I know I will not forget, at all.
