On December 7th, 2012, several students from the Paradise Valley FFA Chapter traveled to the Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus to compete in the Mid-Winter CDE Conference.
We had a Wildlife Team, a Food Science Team, a Beef Speaking Contestant and A Creed Speaking Contestant.
Our Food Science Team had to create and package a food product to sell. They also had individual practicums such as taste testing food.
Samantha Osterlind, our Creed Speaker, had to recite the entire FFA Creed by E.M. Tiffany from memory and answer several questions about the history of the Creed and the meaning of the FFA Creed.
Our Wildlife CDE team participated in several activties such as a pacing exercise, animal identification, written skills and a compass navigation activity.
Isaiah Govea represented the Paradise Valley FFA Chapter in the Beef Speaking CDE. He wrote, memorized and delivered a 5-7 minute speech on an aspect of the beef industry.
While we did not walk away with any victories, Samantha Osterlind was recognized as a Creed Finalist and our members had a lot of fun and walked away with some new experiences as well.
