Then each species’ Grand and Reserve Champion compete for Overall Champion honors by showing each species. The day concludes with our Ag Olympics team events followed by a dinner for all attendees.

Human wheelbarrow race Ag Olympics After the species and overall shows, Club members are able to have a little fun and compete in the Ag Olympics. Ag Olympics gives students a chance to relax and have a little fun at the end of the semester while it also allows them to practice working together as a team. Teams of 4 students compete in different games such as shaving cream races, bobbing for carrots, and others too crazy for a name! 2008 Ag Olympic Games Gallery

Running the Alumni Table Alumni Reunion The NCSU Animal Science Club and the Animal Science Department held their Fifth Annual Alumni Reunion on Friday, April 4th 2008 at the Beef Education Unit on Lake Wheeler Road in Raleigh. Both Club day and the Alumni Reuninon were held Friday evening and attracted over 200 people. Following the Club day activities we went directly into Alumni Reunion. Everyone enjoyed beef and baked potatoes cooked by our own members and advisors. While enjoying the delicious food, alumi and current memebers socialized and enjoyed beach music from the Catalinas. Following the band, we went into out ag olympics with human wheel barrow races, hunting cherries inside whipped creme pies, and pin the tail on the heifer. Current members of the Animal Science Club organized the reunion each year and are the primary sponsors. Additional sponsors of this year’s event were the NCSU Animal Science department, Carolina Farm Credit, the CVM’s Population Health and Pathobiology Department and the CALS Alumni Society.
