This is a schedule as I recieved it. There will be multiple classes going on at a time so it might be that you can't make all of them. It is my understanding that there possibly will be tapes available for the classes missed. Lunch will be served by the Addison County FFA.There will be more info available if you are interested in going by e-mailing Barb Rainville at <rainvb@wcvt.com>
Success is not final,failure is not fatal.It is courage to continue that really counts
