INDIANAPOLIS – The FFA National Convention is a reward for the students: A chance to display what they’ve learned to esteemed panels of judges.

But also, a time to kick back and relax.

Students spend a lot of time in their rooms or in commons areas preparing for their efforts in front of the judges.

When that’s done, there’s time to see some sights and eat some great food in Indianapolis.

Here’s a smattering of photos taken of Montezuma’s students, by various photographers who accompanied them to the convention.

Montezuma FFA students gaze up at Lucas Oil Stadium, site of the convention and home of the Indianapolis Colts of the National Football League.
