State FFA Convention

The 2010 Illinois State FFA Convention was held on June 14-16. Illinois FFA members from all over the state met in Springfield. There they attended sessions, workshops, and toured the capitol. During sessions we listened to our 2009-2010 retiring officer’s addresses, learned about leadership, watched proficiency awards, and saw some awesome FFA Talent. The Seneca FFA Chapter was ranked number one in the state, while the Newark FFA Chapter came in second.
After sessions were over delegates met to talk about things they wanted to change or do to improve FFA. On Wednesday night they elected the 2010-2011 State Officers. Among them are John Edgar, President; Jake Ekstrand, Vice President; Morgan Ott, Reporter; Cody Gill, Secretary; Jeffrey Barnes, Treasurer.
State Convention was a lot of fun, and everyone is looking forward to going again next year. It was a chance to make new friends, learn about leadership, and make a lot of incredible memories.

Protect Livestock Farming Fundraiser

Saturday, September 28, FFA Members parked cars at the Protect Livestock Farming Fundraiser. It was held on Hollenback Road, at the Rosenwinkel’s farm. People who attended enjoyed a DJ, great food, and a silent auction. It was a great turnout, and approximately 300 people attended. The event was from 1-9pm, and each person who came paid $20 for a ticket, however children under 8 were free. While people danced, ate, and talked to each other, 50/50 raffle tickets were sold.
Many people donated money, time, and items to go in the silent auction. Everyone was very pleased with the turnout, and the night was a great success.

Vintage Baseball

This year, Newark celebrated it’s 175th birthday, and to honor that we had a week long Fourth of July celebration. Each night a different part of the community would do something, and Wednesday, June 29, was FFA Night. To start the night we had a steak dinner at Townhouse Park, followed by a vintage baseball game. FFA Alumni members, as well as FFA member’s parents participated in the baseball game. The opposing team was the Somonauk Blue Stockings.
As many people watched, they realized how different the rules are now. Players were not allowed to use gloves, and if they did anything offensive they were fined up to 25 cents. During the game, FFA Members sold Cracker Jacks, snow cones, and FFA apparel to spectators.
Vintage baseball is very different from the baseball we play today. The rules are different, and in many ways it’s harder. Even though the Newark team lost, they all had fun, and the fans cheered in encouragement. The night was full of laughing and cheering, and many of the townspeople came to eat or watch the game. It was a great success, and everyone is looking forward to another baseball game in the future.
