"Our vision for the harvest festival is to gather the communities we serve to celebrate and share Butte College," said Dr. Jennifer Charles-Tollerup, a Harvest Festival committee member and agriculture production instructor. "We sure do hope you join us down on the farm."
Students, too, are eagerly looking forward to the event. "I think what I am looking forward to the most at the Butte Harvest Festival is being able to connect with the community and build future relationships," said Anna Loyd, an agriculture science student.
