Farm Science Review

Last week was a big event our college hosts. It's a farm show for the public that highlights equipment, crops, livestock animals, etc. I go because I set up in a building that showcases our college's undergraduate majors for the many high school students that visit for their high school ag classes. 

At this farm show, the majority of the visitors are male farmer folk. There are also women there, but the majority of men. And it's one of my favorite activities of the year because of this. There are cute old men who are there because they've been going for 40 plus years. There are the guys that are there with their dads. The young single guys. :) And the guys who bring their adorable kids in a wagon by themselves (or with their own dad/brothers/uncles. There's just an abundance of cute men there. Cute for multiple reasons. 

One thing you don't see a lot of is colored pants. ha. I've worn my red pants for the last three years and I usually get a lot of odd looks. Oh well. Jeans are a very common theme among these reviewers. I guess I just like to stand out in a crowed. This year I even threw my leopard flats in to the mix. Pretty sure I was the only person wearing this combo at FSR.


In addition to staffing my department booth about my majors, I also advise our student council, so I had to double up on responsibility and also help staff our pop stand. Staffing this comes with access to a golf cart and if you have a golf cart at this event you are lucky. 

Council advisors. (Ladies, Adam is single. Anyone interested?)

So I don't have anymore pictures from this event, but it was a great time. I got to see a few friends from college that I haven't seen in years (or maybe just since FSR last year). And we had quite a few a alumni come into the building, so that's great too.

And the food! The food is great at this event. Students make and sell most of it at different food stands. I had two Saddle and Sirloin pork chops and one day I hate a hot dog from the AES stand (it was a Schmidts hot dog). And the milkshakes are delicious too. I went broke while eating there, but it was still good.

Until next year FSR.
