The Texas Ag Memorial Day at the Capitol is scheduled for Monday, November 19, 2018.
This ceremony honors those with family members who have dedicated their lives to agriculture, as well as those who have been injured or died in their devotion to agriculture. At 1:30 PM, the honorees are invited to gather on the North Steps of the Capitol for a special wreath presentation by the Texas Department of Agriculture along with the Texas State FFA officers, the Texas State 4 H officers, and local 4 H and FFA chapters who will be presenting a special wreath given by the Texas Nurserymen Association to the families. They will proceed from the front gates of the Capitol up to the north steps to present it to the families. Once this presentation is completed, the procession will move through the Capitol to the auditorium where our ceremony will be held in the State Capitol Auditorium at 2 pm.
The group currently has a delegate of around 20 FFA members and the State 4-H Officers participating in the service and is looking for a group of around 20 4-H members to represent 4-H in the walk to the Capitol steps in their green club shirts. If you are interested in this opportunity, please email Mellanie at MLMickelson@ag.tamu.edu by 10:00 PM this Saturday, November 10, 2018 to receive further details.
