National Block and Bridle Convention
In March, 2018, Block and Bridle hosted the 98th National Convention in Orlando, FL. Following the theme "Production in the Palms," students from universities around the US came to see how we do agriculture in Florida. Over the course of three days, the attendees had the opportunity to listen to many great speakers and network with fellow Animal Science students.
