NORTHERN ARIZONA CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION INVITATION

[Jeff Silvertooth]

The V-V Experimental Ranch and Arizona Cooperative Extension are hosting the
third in a series of four Centennial events - the Northern Arizona
Centennial Celebration, Thursday, July 24 at the V-V Experimental Ranch at
Mahan Park.

 

The celebration begins at 9:30 a.m. and the morning program will include
recognition of influential contributors to Arizona agriculture, families,
and communities over the last 100 years. The morning program will also
highlight significant research and management of Arizona's forests for the
last 100 years and beyond, describe the history and impact of the Arizona
Tree Ring Lab, and discuss Arizona climate trends in the past and into the
future.  Following a BBQ lunch, there will be a two-hour afternoon session
with hands on learning and demonstrations on various topics from home
canning and remote sensing to Native American food production and forest
health.  For more information, check out the draft agenda
