CELEBRATING MILESTONES

This coming year, we will be celebrating our 20^th Annual Northwest Pennsylvania Grazing Conference. A brand new venue and some top-notch presenters will be just two of the many features to look forward to. The conference will be held on Thursday, March 16, 2017 at the Trinity Point Church of God in Clarion, PA. Since this is a milestone year, we will be anticipating a higher-than-normal registration count. In the past, we’ve averaged over 200 registrations from Pennsylvania (over 35 counties), Ohio, and New York. Farmers and producers have come to expect a worthwhile conference and, as always, we plan to exceed those expectations.

Each year we count on the financial support from sponsors and vendors to help bring together a high-quality conference while keeping the event affordable for the registrants. Our aim is for all of our vendors/sponsors to get something in return – whether it is selling your products or services; networking; or gaining a sense of pride from giving back to the agricultural community. You are encouraged to bring products with you to sell or deliver pre-orders to customers that will be attending that day.

Please consider supporting this event through one of two sponsorship opportunities. The Gold Sponsorship is a $300 donation, and the Vendor Sponsorship is $175.

Kindly let us know of your intent to support the 20^th Annual Northwest Pennsylvania Grazing Conference by submitting the registration form no later than February 17, 2017.

Our drawing for door prizes is always popular and becomes yet another opportunity to promote your business even after the conference is over. You may indicate on the registration form if you intend to donate any door prizes.

If you have any questions regarding the 2017 Conference, please feel free to contact Headwaters RC&D at info@headwaterspa.org, or (814) 503-8653. Brochures and additional information can be found at www.headwaterspa.org.
