Horticulture Opening Social

Our Horticulture Social was a success as always. We wanted to thank all those that helped with cooking and preparing the food, setting up and taking down the headhouse, and making this the event we all enjoy.

Here Bro. Dewey, Barnes and Romney cook the "charred animal flesh" for us on the amazing grills.So much wonderful meat!Bro. Dewey was so proud of the perfect pinkness in this steak and how good it tasted! I was surprised that they were only seasoned with garlic salt. They were just good cuts of meat.Thanks Evan and Tim for cooking the scones! They were delicious! Mitzi's boy only ate the scones! :)Thanks to the Flower Center girls for the wonderful topiary arrangements on the tables!

It was fun to have the representatives for Heads Up Landscape there to enjoy all the steak with. We definitely had a full house, headhouse that is. It was fun, as always, to see our fellow students' spouses and kids. We get to know them at a much better level.You can see Bro. Nelson heading back with his bowl to grab more steak. This section of the headhouse ate the most because every time Bro. Nelson brought in more steak he stopped at each person at these tables to get rid of most of it. They were stuffed! This is such a fun tradition for our department. We get to met casually and enjoy really great food. Thanks again for all those who participated in making this happen. Can't wait for the next one!

SAVE THE DATE!

Our Hort Social is coming up! The date is October 21st (Wednesday) at 6:30 pm. It will be by the buttes and more information will become available as the date gets closer such as location and transportation. It will be a BBQ like always with steaks, salad, scones and possibly some of Bro. Dewey's hunting stash (moose, elk, etc.). All horticulture students are invited as well as spouses, children and fiances. Sorry, no roommates or friends. They must have a ring.

There will be a good amount of publicity as the date approaches so you will definitely hear more about it.

Fall Horticulture Social

To get everyone's minds off of midterms, on Wednesday, October 29th, the Horticulture Dept had its fall social at Brother Romney's house, just north of town. The weather was perfect for the fall backyard barbeque!

As you can see, we had a great turnout! There were plenty of students and faculty with their families in attendance.

To satisfy the "hunger" of a good time, delicious steak was barbequed to perfection . . .

. . . which Brother Dewey and Ephraim sliced and served.

Fresh scones were also enjoyed by all lucky enough to get one, as they ran out early! The chocolate cake was another hot item that went quickly, but there was plenty of salad and rolls to complement the plethora of steak.

Every great barbeque needs a roaring bonfire . . .

. . . and dinner entertainment, which thankfully Jonathan decided to bring.

He had a few fun toys, including a spinning top that he put on a couple of the "future horticulturists" hands. The kids loved it!

As just as the night was winding down, Ephraim decided to show off his skills of coal juggling!
Hope he didn't burn his hands too badly! Overall, the social was a great success! Thanks again to Brother Romney and his family for having us to their home, and letting us walk the labyrinth!
