National FFA Convention in Indianapolis.
Members who attended were Seth Pullins, Jacob Caris, Abby Gase, Courtney Reymone, Amelia Pullins, Kylie

The National FFA president honored the Otsego FFA Chapter with a 3-Star National Chapter Award during the

chapter development, and community development. This is the third consecutive year for this
accomplishment.

attended the career show where they interacted with agribusinesses, non-profit organizations and
colleges. Members learned about agricultural careers, and attended a rodeo and a Garth Brooks concert.
