HERMISTON â After missing out on a state convention last year, Hermiston High School FFA students are looking forward to this yearâs event, even if itâs virtual.
The 93rd annual Oregon FFA State Convention will be livestreamed Tuesday, March 16, through Thursday, March 18, via the Oregon FFA social media pages. Students have already begun competitions, but will have the opportunity to watch workshops, industry panels and speeches on those days.
Alexis Leathers, a junior, remembered the moment last year when she got the word that the in-person state convention had been canceled due to increasing fears of gatherings during COVID-19. The group had been really excited to go, she said, and it was a letdown that preceded the early end to the entire school year. Since then, FFA students have been able to meet and compete virtually.

The Maine Tourism Association (MTA) applauds the Maine Legislature and Governor Janet Mills for securing funding for Maine’s tourism marketing. The Maine Office of Tourism, which falls under the Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD), administers the Tourism Promotion Marketing Fund which is used to promote Maine as a travel destination.
CEO Tony Cameron stated, “Obviously tourism businesses were hit tremendously hard by the pandemic last year. Tourism is one of Maine’s largest private industries, employing over 100,000 and generating hundreds of millions of dollars for the Maine economy. Maine needs tourism to be successful, not just for the tourism businesses and workers themselves but for the benefit it brings to the entire state. A successful tourism industry is the key to economic recovery for the state.”
