CSU, Chico Agriculture Hosts Tenth Annual Fall Festival

California State University, Chico's College of Agriculture is sponsoring the Fall Festival 2001, Saturday, Oct. 6 at 4 p.m., at the University Farm off Hegan Lane.

The festivities begin with farm tours and activities for all ages. 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 featuring scholarship recipients and honoring Hall of Honor inductees Jud Carter and Buel Mouser. A silent auction will raise money for scholarships.

Established in 1991, the festival's initial goal was to recognize those who had significantly impacted the direction of the agricultural programs at CSU, Chico. It has since evolved to incorporate a celebration bringing students, 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. This year Fall Festival coincides with the university's Homecoming festivities.

Pre-purchased tickets are $15 general, $10 students and $5 for children under 12. Tickets are available in Chico at Diamond W Western Wear, Northern California Farm Credit, the University Farm and College of Agriculture offices, and Tri-Counties Bank on Mangrove Avenue. Other ticket locations include Tri-Counties Bank in Durham and Bucke's Feed & Seed in Orland. Guests can purchase tickets at the door for an additional $5 per person.

For more information call Leslie Santos, 898-6343 or Desiree Gonzalez, 898-4597. Fall Festival is sponsored by the CSU, Chico College of Agriculture and Superior Ag.
