Career Development Events (Contests) FFA members can participate in numerous contests throughout the year. Those teams or individuals who qualify for state competition will attend the Minnesota FFA Convention at the end of April. Please see the calendar for dates of specific contests. For information about each contest, visit the Minnesota FFA CDE information. Corn Drive Each fall members of the Pine Island FFA Chapter ask for donations of corn or money. All money collected is donated to Camp Courage. Fruit Sales In the fall of every year, FFA members sell fruit, cheese and sausage to raise money for the chapter activities. Students have the opportunity to make money for themselves and compete for top seller prizes. National FFA Convention The National FFA Convention is held at the end of October in Indianapolis, IN. Approximately eight students from the chapter have the opportunity to travel on a region bus to attend convention. These students attend general sessions, hear inspiring speakers, meet FFA members from across the country, and develop their leadership skills through workshops. Region VIII FFA Greenhand Camp The Region VIII FFA Officer Team hosts a camp for 8th, 9th, and 10th graders each year.
