Well as I am writing this we have just finished up our winter show season in Georgia and St. Patrick’s Day is drawing near. Honestly, I have never really celebrated St. Patrick’s Day. I remember being in grade school and if one of us didn’t wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, we would get pinched. I never got pinched because I always wore something green. Even though I do not plan on doing anything special this year, there are a fair amount of parades that will take place around the country to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. Boston, New York City, Savannah, and Philadelphia are among many of the cities having parades. I know from others’ stories the Savannah, Georgia St. Patrick’s Day Parade is great. Supposedly River Street in Savannah is packed to the brim with people dressed in green and/or people dressed as leprechauns. Also, word is that the [ … ]
The 2015 NJSA Boot Camp Leadership Conference held on February 14 at Lake Land College was a great success! With 35 youth and 14 adults present in Mattoon, Illinois, it’s safe to say we were ready for the festivities to begin. NJSA youth ages 8-12 from all over the Midwest, as well the NJSA Junior Board, NSR Staff, and numerous speakers were all in attendance. We even had a handful of Lake Land students there to help us out! The morning began with a Welcome speech given by Kaley Bontrager and Jon Althaus and from there, the fun never stopped!
Following the opening act, parents and kids were split into 2 smaller groups to kick off the morning. Bryn Jensson with the National Pork Board gave everyone an update on PEDv. Within her lesson, Bryn explained to everyone the importance of biosecurity and cleanliness among their swine projects and had each [ … ]
I attended my first NJSA National Youth Leadership Conference in 8th grade and had such a great experience I have been hooked on the NJSA. I was able to meet many kids who had the same interests and passion that I do, and then we learned about the swine industry by touring companies and listening to speakers. I immediately saw how important the NJSA Junior Board is to running events for youth and made a goal to one say serve on the NJSA Junior Board.
The NJSA Junior Board has given me the opportunity to continue to make connections and meet people. I have made great friends and I had the opportunity to help many younger exhibitors in the show ring. Every minute spent in the NJSA is very rewarding. I am honored to serve as your At Large Director on the 2014-15 NJSA Junior Board of Directors and I look [ … ]
This year came and gone like the speed of light for me, and probably countless others. What do you want to change or do differently in 2015? Everyone that I know has some sort of resolution that they want to accomplish in the upcoming year. Some of the top ten New Year’s Resolutions that I found were that people want to lose weight, volunteer more, or save money. Just maybe I will cut back on the Little Debbie snacks to try to relive my high school basketball form. I could also start saving my money by breaking my McDonald’s Sweet Tea kick, but I have a different resolution that I want to pursue this New Year. Next year, I want to do something for myself that will affect my future. I want to become a better academic student. I have always been honest, and if you would just look at [ … ]
