Get ready for an ag-citing day of activities and information on March 16 at Lakeland College's Vermilion campus.
Ag-Citing is all about our agricultural science programs, and it's also right at the beginning of Little Royal Weekend, so there is more to stick around and see.
You are invited to come with your parents or friends--there's even a special info session for parents.
While the official welcome isn't until 9 am, you can start your day with a pancake breakfast in the Meade Building, Room MB 122 (aka the Animal Science building). Breakfast starts at 7 am and is $5 for pancakes, sausages, fruit, coffee and juice.
Activities are scheduled every half hour through the day. These are mini-labs, tours and class-type activities. Take a look at each time slot in the drop downs below. You can also download and print an
Agi-Citing 2012 Itinerary (pdf).
As part of marketing courses, food booths will be available in both the Mead Building and the Riding Arena.
