Alumni, students, staff, faculty and friends of the University of Maryland College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (AGNR) proved their Terrapin pride during homecoming weekend at the annual “Ag-toberfest” tailgate.

Close to 200 members of the AGNR family came out to enjoy food, fun and fellowship at the campus farm prior to the homecoming football game. The event was hosted by the AGNR alumni chapter.

A special thanks to Dean Cheng-i Wei for providing meat for the menu by supporting the 4-H Livestock Sale at this year’s Maryland State Fair. Dean Wei purchased a goat raised by Charlie Sasscer from St. Mary’s County and a lamb raised by Miriam Harper from Frederick County.

Miriam is a freshman at Cotoctin High School and has been involved with 4-H since the age of 5. She and her father Bryan attended the Ag-toberfest tailgate as special guests of the college. They are pictured left with Dan Kugler, Acting Associate Dean and Associate Director for University of Maryland Extension (UME).

Ag-toberfest would not be possible without the support of generous sponsors. Check out more pictures from the event here.
