The theme for the 2010 Agricultural Cooperation Establishes Success (ACES) Conference was "Beyond the Blue," and the Canton FFA joined in the action.
Approximately 600 students from across the state attended the first week-end of the ACES conference in Harrisburg.
There, they spent the 2 days participating in leadership workshops and socializing with many other FFA members from various other chapters.
Some of the workshops included diversity, global agriculture, community engagement, professional networking, and cruising with cooperatives.
A primary focus also included FFA members acting as a "lighthouse" to other FFA members as well as anyone else that they encounter.
The Canton FFA joined with the Grand Canyon FFA and Athens FFA in their journey to the conference.
A great time reportedly was had by all, whether they are a first year or fourth year FFA member.
