Outreach and Education Workshop - AT
Saturday, August 11 2012, 10:00am - 3:00pm


 Have you ever..........

*       stood in the AgriLife office storage closet and had absolutely no idea what to bring to an outreach event?

*       manned an outreach booth and had no clue what to say to people who walked up to look at your display?

*       watched wistfully as a nearby booth filled with laughing, active visitors and wondered why no one was coming to see your booth?

We can answer those question and MORE at our first
