By Andrea Montanez, Gibbon FFA Chapter president
The Nebraska State FFA Convention has made such a significant impact on the Gibbon FFA Chapter. As we get ready for our third convention, we are excited to return because attending in past years has allowed us to grow as leaders, grow as individuals and represent our chapter. Throughout the year, we take part in every contest in hopes that we can get the opportunity to compete at state.
