Selected finalists then competed at Cal Poly Pomona on March 24, 2015 for Soutern Region.

Our Last Drive-Thru BBQ of the Year!
This past year, we have hosted a total of three Drive-Thru Barbecues including the Fall Festival. Through this final BBQ, students who raise animal projects were given the opportunity to sell tickets in order to receive fair add-ons. During our final BBQ, we have raised a total of $1,000 in profit and our advisor hopes that this fundraiser will hopefully expand and thrive in the near future!
