The Mid-Prairie High School FFA Chapter is preparing a little differently for their district convention this Saturday.

Mid-Prairie will compete at the Southeast District Convention at Mediapolis, but not in the fashion they’re used to according to Agricultural Education Instructor and FFA Advisor Elsa Schmidt, “Things are a little bit different this year because of COVID. We will go down at a specific time that’s been assigned to us and our kids will go in, compete in their contests and then we’ll be asked to head home.”

Schmidt says they’ll have entries in the categories of secretary’s book, reporter’s scrapbook and ag issues. She says students Bridget Fisher and Marissa Cline will also make presentations after they were balloted to become district officers. Those advancing from the district convention move on to the state leadership conference April 18-20 in Ames..
