Thursday evening Wisconsin's winning ways continued at the National FFA Convention in Indianapolis!

The Stoughton FFA Alumni was selected as the Top Affiliate in the United States - and the honors didn't stop there!  Stoughton was also the National Scrapbook award winners.

The Stoughton FFA Alumni has featured several national leaders in their chapter.  Darlene Arneson and Diane Amera have both served as National FFA Alumni Presidents, and both are members of the Stoughton FFA Alumni.

The National FFA Alumni is celebrating it's 40th anniversary in Indianapolis this year.

Wisconsin is also watching the National FFA Convention and the Star in Agriscience category that will be announced on Friday evening in Indianapolis.  This year just one applicant is from Wisconsin - Keith A. Bollinger of the Cochrane-Fountain City FFA.

There are also 20 National Finalist in Proficieny awards hailing from Wisconsin.  Those awards are presented throughout the convention - which concludes on Saturday.

Indianapolis officials say that the 55,000 blue and gold jackets in town for the convention help them prepare for their hosting of the upcoming Super Bowl.
