Oh man this week has been hectic....and it's ONLY Wednesday!!!! This past weekend I attended the Spring Branch FFA Livestock Show. Friday night I was lucky enough to watch members exhibit their lambs, goats, and hogs The hog show, I must say, was the event of the night. This year the hog show was split into two classes and when each class started, so did the hogs. I mean as soon as that holding pen gate was opened, they were off!!! Hogs were makings victory lap after victory lap showing EVERYONE what they are really made of. The crowd enjoyed every second of it too! 
Saturday rolled around and that was a long day for everyone as well. The Greenhands were able to leave their mark on the Spring Branch FFA. They were even gracious enough to let me join in on the fun by painting my hand and letting me leave my mark on their chapter. There
was also a delicious luncheon where all the buyers came out to eat and mingle with the members. After we were all nice and full, the highly anticipated auction began. There were 75 lots to be sold and they contained anything from a steer to a horticulture project. The coolest part of the day, to me, was not the buyers bidding and purchasing projects, or seeing the members' hard work pay off, it was how every single member of the Spring Branch FFA chapter cheered for ALL 75 of their fellow members as they were up on stage. The support that they had for each other was INCREDIBLE!! We were all sitting in the bleachers cheering for members like Jake, Hannah, Michael, Amy, Chris, Ashley, etc. , as they stood there grinning from ear to ear on stage. Half of the members lost their voices that day from screaming so much but, it was worth it. I even almost lost my voice and it takes A LOT for that to happen, so you can only imagine how loud that cheering section was ;D hahaha I had such a blast hanging out with all of the members this weekend that I cannot wait for my next opportunity! Well guys and gals have a great rest of the week!!! =D Chow for now!
