It was one of those weeks that passes in such a flash you remember everything at once and nothing at all. Looking back, I don't know where all the time went. I can clearly remember Monday. The day started early at 7:00. I grabbed my bags and coat and headed for the door, the North Carolina State Fair, and eventually the 83rd National FFA Convention.
There was a brisk feel in the air that morning, but the sun signaled that this cool would not last for long. This particular Monday proved to be one of those temperate fall days that North Carolina is noted for. Everyone met at the North Carolina FFA Association office at 8:00. The group was a combination of the six state officers, eight delegates, and Mr. Bledsoe and Ms. Beth. After some brief greetings and instructions, the small convoy headed over to the state fair grounds for the first ever FFA Day at the 143rd NC State Fair. Here students had the opportunity to hear former national officer Mr. Marty Coates, enter a scavenger hunt, receive a fair t-shirt, and enjoy all that the state fair has to offer.
Several hundred state fair t-shirts later, we packed everything up and headed for the Raleigh/Durham airport and Indianapolis. After the TSA made sure we weren't up to anything sinister, we boarded a tiny two row plane that didn't instill much confidence in some of our first time fliers. I awoke from my nap on the plane to Daniel yelling about the slight turbulence, yawned to pop my ears, and got ready for the descent. We had finally arrived in Indianapolis.
