Dinner in Elko with Trent Loos, Radio Host

If you are in the area next week and looking for a great night out, here is your chance!!  This comes from Great Basin College:

Come one, come all! GBC Aggies Club and the Elko County Farm Bureau have teamed up to present Trent Loos on Saturday April 14th. The event starts with social hour at 5:00pm, a tri-tip dinner catered by Elko's newest restaurant McAdoo's at 6:00pm, and Trent's speech entitled "Producing Food in a You Tube Society."

The event is taking place in the GBC Solarium in Elko, Nevada. Dinner tickets are $25 per person or $20 for 4-H and FFA members. Please buy your dinner tickets by April 11th from the GBC controller's office, or RSVP to Tracy Shane (753-2344) by April 11th and purchase tickets at the door. During dinner, GBC students will be presenting the results of their research on various natural resources topics. GBC Aggies Club students will also be selling sweatshirts at the event.

If you don't want to join us for dinner, you can come for free at 7:00pm and be entertained and inspired by Trent. He'll be selling and signing his new book, "The Best of Trent." Mr. Loos was raised on a farm in Illinois where he got his start in raising hogs at a young age. He and his wife Kelli now own and operate a ranch in central Nebraska where they raise primarily purebred Limousin and Angus cattle, train horses, and raise enough hogs to be delivering some feeder pigs to the Ruby Mountain FFA chapter members. These pigs will be used in student's supervised agriculture experience projects and will be raised for the show and sale in July. Loos hosts a radio show called Loos Tales that airs on over 100 stations across the nation. If you haven't seen him in person before, most folks find that his sense of humor and interesting way of presenting facts will make you think differently about agriculture. We hope that you'll come join us for a night of learning and entertainment.

Please pass this on to anyone you think that might be interested,

Thanks,

Tracy
