Annual Ag Roundup Nov. 3 at AU

AUBURN, Ala. — Ag Heritage Park on the campus of Auburn University will be the scene of a super-sized tailgate party Saturday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to noon as the College of Agriculture and the AU Agricultural Alumni Association host the 28th annual Taste of Alabama Agriculture and Fall Ag Roundup.

For an admission price of $5 per person—children under 6 admitted free—attendees can sample a wide range of delicious foods that are grown and/or processed in Alabama, from sweet potato fries and collard greens to grilled burgers and roast lamb. Also on tap will be live music, children’s entertainment and live and silent auctions, proceeds from which will fund College of Agriculture scholarships.

More than 1,500 people attend the annual roundup, which is held every fall on Homecoming Saturday.

Ag Heritage Park is located on Samford Avenue, just across from the AU Athletic Complex.
