Leading the Challenge

The last weekend of January I took my first ever excursion to Region V for Leading the Challenge.  I wasn't sure what to expect since I'm more of a Region VIII kind of guy, but overall I had a great time.  

I enjoyed getting to know the officers much better!  They did a great job in preparing a well thought out conference for all of the members to enjoy. 

After the first few sessions we all had the opportunity to go Skiing or Swimming.  I chose to set up the sound system for the dance later that night.  I had my first ever experience as a DJ, which was fun.  Playing Backstreet Boys, Stacy's Mom, 1985, and N Sync was super fun.

As we wrapped up on Sunday and said our goodbyes I reflected on the camps and conferences that I'd been to over my FFA career.  It was sad to realize that this was probably my last FFA camp/conference ever.

Thanks to all of the Region V members who were a part of this!
