On February 27, the Vinton-Shellsburg FFA chapter hosted a fun and exciting lock-in for members to spend time together and build stronger friendships within the chapter. The event gave members a chance to relax, have fun, and enjoy time with each other outside of regular meetings and activities.

Throughout the night, members participated in a variety of activities, including games, volleyball, tie blanket making, zorb balls, and plenty of conversations. There was lots of laughter as everyone enjoyed spending time together and creating memories. Members also had the opportunity to enjoy food, snacks, and time to hang out with friends.

Senior Braedon Hepker said, “My favorite part was staying up all night with my friends and doing all the different activities.”
