On February 11, 2017, 8 members of the Vinton-Shellsburg FFA went to Manchester, Iowa to Lighting Lanes for District FFA Bowling Tournament against other chapters. Team one consisted of Eric Henkle, George "Wesley" Hefner, Madeline Moen and Grant Ries. Team Two consisted of Jordan Pattee, Blake Witzel, Tailynn Tharp and Michael Steele.
