You may have seen them walking the streets of downtown or at the Motor Speedway.
What you didn't see, though, was the way they were encouraged to help others.
One those stories, involves a local family and has now been shared more than 7,000 on Facebook.
The Amt family, John, Randi and their three kids have been staying in a local hotel for the past 10 days, but it's not for a vacation.
They've had to stay there after they say their house flooded when a toilet malfunctioned while they were on fall break.
"Living in a hotel can be fun for a little while, but being in a hotel for a long time gets to be a little difficult," said John Amt.
They especially learned how hard it can be while trying to put three kids to bed as they listened to their neighbors in the hotel, students from Eureka, Kansas in town for the convention.
The Amts says the students were being noisy in the hallway around 10:30 at night.
"I was getting a little frustrated and wanted to go out and tell them, 'Quiet down! We have kids trying to sleep in here!'" recalled Randi, but she decided instead to wait for a better moment which came the next night when Randi knocked on their door.
"I said, 'I know you're in town for the FFA convention and we want you to have fun while you're here, but you were a little loud last night and you woke up my kids and I was just hoping you could be a little quieter tonight,'" Randi said she told the students.
Then Randi shared why her family was there to begin with and how their house had flooded and they couldn't stay at home.
Randi says the kids apologized for making noise the night before and wished them luck.
It's what happened 20 minutes later though, that Randi says convinced her that kindness is always the answer.
"I saw a note on the floor and opened it up and it said, 'We're sorry about your home. We wanted to give you something maybe that could help you.' And there was $40 in the note," Randi said.
The next morning when the Amts saw the FFA students in the lobby and thanked them, the students told them about a speech they'd heard at the convention about paying kindness forward.
"They passed all these cards out to all the kids and said, 'Go find somebody in need and do something for them and give them the card so they can pay it forward,'" John said the students told them about the speech.
So that's what the Amt family is doing. They took the $40 from the FFA students, added to that money, and are asking others to do the same on a You Caring Site they created. The money is going to help the homeless in Indianapolis either through a cash donation or the Amts may take some of the money and buy hats and mittens and other items to donate.
"We realize how blessed we are. We still have a roof over our heads, even if we're in a hotel. They're a lot of people that don't and winter's coming up," said Randi.
The Amts are also thankful for the lesson this has taught their three young children.
"The example they've shown for our children is worth more than any amount of money," said John.
Eyewitness News spoke on the phone to Trint Peine, the advisor of those FFA students from Kansas.
Peine said he didn't even know about the note or the money the students had given the family, until the Amts found him and thanked him in the hotel lobby.
He says he's very proud of his students.
"My kids went out and used what they learned to make a difference," said Peine.
