SCW FFA Advisor, Miss Ronning, sent them on a scavenger hunt downtown Mitchell. They had several riddles and clues that they had to follow to figure out which downtown business the scavenger hunt would send them too. This included a lot of communication skills and teamwork. They took pictures with each clue that they had found, including barn quilts, several of the parks downtown, and the famous Cornelius across from the Corn Palace.

For lunch, they had pizza in Hitchcock Park and further discussed important events throughout the year. Goals for this year include getting more involved in the communities and to recruiting members.
