This year, our Industry Associate Member organization, Mississippi Deer Farmer’s Assn., will be co-hosting the event. These folks worked hand in hand, and in many cases lead the fight to get deer farming in Mississippi legalized during the last legislative session.

Tenitive agenda is as follows: Have a guest speaker(s) around 3pm, a social hour from 5-6pm, the meal at 6pm and the fundraising event immediately following the meal .
