Sixth annual Small Acreage Expo, Saturday, April 16, 2011


I volunteered for the 6th Annual Small Acreage Expo co-sponsored by WSU Clark County Extension and the Clark County Clean Water Program at Brigands HideOut Farm in Battle Ground, Washington on Saturday, April 16, 2011. Landowners could choose from classes on topics such as installing a french drain, weed management, alternative energy production, pasture management, and backyard chickens. I thought the last session on backyard chickens was the most interesting. Local vendors were available to provide valuable information to participants. Besides a lunch of "Italian" Sub Sandwich, Lays potato chips, chocolate chip cookie and soda drink I received a "goody" bag for helping out with registration/check-in and overseeing lunch. I wish that the weather was warmer but at least it was not raining!
