EVENT DETAILS:

The third annual University of Mount Olive AgFest will be held on the campus of UMO Thursday, September 22nd. Below is the schedule for the day. Registration is open! Space is limited so if your FFA chapter is interested in attending, please register ASAP by completing this registration form. Please e-mail your registration form to EOlive@umo.edu or fax to (919) 658-7633. A confirmation e-mail will be sent when your registration is received. Checks and a copy of the registration form should be mailed by Friday, September 9th. Each agricultural teacher should receive an AgFest poster soon that we hope you will hang in your classroom.

We are also exploring the option of adding a second day for students interested in participating in Ag Demo Day on Friday, September 23 after AgFest (see the tentative schedule below). Agricultural companies will be available  to provide students hands-on demonstrations and learning opportunities across various  agricultural sectors. If there is enough interest to hold the event, breakfast will be served by additional Got to Be NC member companies. We hope you will consider being a part ofFriday’s events as well. Please be sure to respond to the last two questions on the form for Ag Demo Day.

For schools interested in staying in Mount Olive on Thursday night after the event we have secured a block room rate of $84.96 per room at the Sleep Inn & Suites in Mount Olive (203 NC Highway 55W Mount Olive, NC 28365). If you are interested in reserving rooms call the Sleep Inn at (919) 658-1002 and use the group name AG FEST. Rooms must be booked by Wednesday, September 7 to take advantage of the block rate.

We hope you and your students are able to join us for #UMOAgFest16!
