CSU, Chico Agriculture Hosts 11th Annual Fall Festival this Weekend
Tickets for California State University, Chico Agriculture’s Fall Festival 2002, held at the University Farm off Hegan Lane, are still available.
The festivities kick off Sat., Oct. 12 at 4 p.m. with farm tours and activities for everyone to enjoy. The rest of the day and evening include a wine and cheese tasting, dinner and no-host bar, DJ and dancing and an evening program honoring scholarship donors and Hall of Honor inductee Northern California Farm Credit. A silent auction will be ongoing throughout the evening to raise money for scholarships.
Pre-purchased tickets are $15 general, $10 students and $5 for children under 12. Tickets are available at the University Farm office, College of Agriculture office and Northern California Farm Credit. Guests can purchase tickets at the door for an additional $5 per person.
Established in 1991, the festival’s initial goal was to recognize those who have significantly impacted the direction of the agricultural programs at CSU, Chico. It has since evolved to incorporate a celebration bringing students, their parents, alumni, friends and supporters together. It is also an opportunity for the College of Agriculture to share with the community the many things it has to offer.
Fall Festival is sponsored by the CSU, Chico College of Agriculture and Superior Ag, an auxiliary organization in support of the college. For more information call 898-6343 or 898-4597.
