Selling Out FAST
We are thrilled to announce that we have another Gun Raffle Calendar in 2025! Since the new year begins on a Wednesday, the 2025 gun raffle calendar will again consist of 53 guns. There will be one gun raffled off every Wednesday in 2025. Call (209) 931-4931 to order. There are less than 30 calendars left, and they are flying off the shelves. Be sure to call the office to reserve your calendar(s) before it’s too late!
Agri-Bee Competition
The Agri-Bee Competition is a FREE oral spelling bee, using agriculturally related words, for 4th & 5th grade students in San Joaquin County. The procedure is much like a standard spelling bee, with one major difference – each word must be properly defined & spelled.
This competition is scheduled for Thursday, January 23rd at the Robert J. Cabral Agricultural Center. The Agri-Bee Competition promotes agriculture education & gives students a rewarding opportunity to learn about California agriculture. Prizes will be awarded to the finalists. The competition will be open to the first 25 students to register.
