THURSDAY

July 24….Grape Field Day - The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service will conduct a Grape Field Day which is an educational opportunity for anyone from the novice to the experienced grower interested in grape production, said Robert Scott, AgriLife Extension agent at Lubbock.

But we will also talk a little about the vineyard’s trellis/training system.” Individual registration is $15, due upon arrival. The fee includes light snacks.
