Newsflash: Liz is the new President of the Martin County West FFA chapter. She is so excited and honored to have been appointed/elected to this position. It was a total surprise to her - she was hoping for Secretary or Treasurer.
Best humor of the night: When Liz stepped out of her car as she arrived at home, Carl started singing "Dum-dum-dee-dum" to the tune of Hail to the Chief! Shades of Blazing Saddles, which is Carl, Liz, Dawn and Janis's favorite movie.
Overall, it's been an amazing month for Liz. 2 weeks ago, she performed a solo and sang in two ensembles at our state subsection Solo and Ensemble Contest. All three of her performances received Superior ratings, and her solo was chosen "Best of Site", which means the judge marked it as the best performance he heard that day. (Mom was very proud!)
A few pictures from the evening: 1) Liz with two very proud "Ag" grandparents, John and Joyce Rabbe, 2) Liz and her godmother Karen Helvig, 3)Liz being sworn in by her "big sister", ag mentor, singing partner, and outgoing FFA president Sarah Manzey, 4) Liz's god-brother Dan Helvig and friend Nate Janssen, two of Minnesota's current State FFA officers, and 5) friend and new fellow officer Mattie Steen reciting the FFA creed.
