The University of Wyoming will host its 43rd annual Ag Day Barbecue Saturday, Oct. 17, before the UW vs. North Illinois University football game.
The barbecue is scheduled from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and will take place at UW’s Indoor Practice Facility.
This year’s menu features beef, lamb, pulled pork, assorted sides and dessert prepared by the UW Food Science Club.
The event showcases registered student organizations associated with the College of Agriculture, Life Sciences and Natural Resources. Proceeds from the barbecue help support student organization programming throughout the year and fund two scholarships for the students who staff the barbecue.
Members of any of the college’s student organizations, including the livestock judging
team, Fashion Club and Animal Science Graduate Student Association, can volunteer
to attend and staff the barbecue.
Tickets can be purchased at the door, cash or card only. The cost is $20 for adults or $10 for children ages 6-12. Admission is free for children 5 and under.
