ABAC Family Weekend 2011

Dear ABAC Families,

On behalf of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, I am pleased to invite you to be part of a new ABAC tradition--Family Weekend!

The dates for this event are Friday – Saturday, October 7 – 8, 2011.

Why should you attend Family Weekend? Because this is a golden opportunity to get to know your student’s friends, meet their families, and sample a bit of campus life. Oh yes—and to have fun!

Weekend activities will begin Friday afternoon with campus sports events and a family dinner in the dining hall. Later that evening, you will enjoy ABAC’s movie night—an outdoor screening of a family friendly movie, with ABAC snow cones and popcorn.

Saturday will provide an opportunity to sample one of ABAC’s newest acquisitions, Georgia’s Museum of Agriculture. Along with an alumni-sponsored cookout, kids will be able to enjoy games and outdoor events. The weekend will conclude with families touring the Museum’s grounds for free. This particular weekend at the Museum will feature blacksmiths, fiddles and musicians. The Georgia Museum of Agriculture is one of Tifton’s treasurers and families will be admitted for free on Saturday to experience some of what this location has to offer.

Our staff has put together what we think will be a very enjoyable weekend for parents, siblings, and extended family of all ABAC students. I hope you will join your student and us as we celebrate ABAC campus life.

Regards,

Dr. Niles Reddick
Vice President for Academic Affairs
