DASSEL-COKATO, MN – The Dassel-Cokato FFA Chapter has much to smile about as they returned home Tuesday from the state convention in St. Paul.
Three teams received first place including Floriculture, Parliamentary Procedure, and Marketing Plan.
The chapter itself received the honor of being named second best in the state. This is not based on awards, but on the student and chapter development as it relates to the FFA mission. This is the first time the DC chapter has placed in the top 10.
Four members also received their state degrees, the highest award the state can give based on two years of FFA involvement. State degree recipients are Megan Piepgras, Nic Holm, Patty Hemerick, and Eric Wendolek.
The Minnesota Department of Public Safety is asking law enforcement agencies to increase traffic enforcement as far as the Graduated Drivers License and the Primary Seat Belt law to help prevent future deaths and car crashes.

“We can save lives and prevent these needless deaths,” Campion said.
