The University of Wyoming Extension is excited to be offering the new 2020 Rural Living Expo to Cody, Wyoming. The purpose of this Expo is to provide education on land and horse management for the landowners in the Big Horn Basin by offering a vendor show along side educational seminars and demonstrations.
To kick off this event, we have brought in renowned horse clinician, Justin Hatfield, to provide three demonstrations throughout the day (starting session, noon session, and last session). In between the horse clinician demonstrations, there will be three concurrent seminar tracts focusing on equine health and care, irrigation management, and land management. In addition to Justin Hatfield, we are excited to have Dr. Karl Hoopes, Utah State University’s Equine Extension Specialist and Veterinarian, bring his knowledge and expertise on equine care and management to our event.
There will be food available to purchase at this family friendly event. If you have questions or would like to become a sponsor or register a vendor booth, please call Lynn at 307-527-8560 or send her an email: lfoote@parkcounty.us
