We going to be hearing an update from the U.S. Meat Export Federation, from the State Veterinarian's Office. We're going to be talking about some new youth programs that we've got going on. So there is a lot of interest for anyone in the livestock industry or the pork industry. And that should go to about 1 o'clock."

We're going to have a 10-course pork tasting. We're going to have Colorado wine and beer, some wonderful music and just a really good time. If anyone has been out to the Platte River Fort in Kersey — that is where this event is going to be held. It is just beautiful and it's going to be a great event."
