Cooperative Extension Service Hosting MSEA Membership Meeting
The Mississippi Cooperative Extension Service is hosting a meeting on Tuesday night, September 25 for the Mississippi State Equine Association. The meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the upstairs conference room of the Kirk Fordice Equine Center on the State Fairgrounds in Jackson.
The MCES has extended invitations to all Mississippi horsemen via county Extension Service officers.
Mississippi Equine Specialist Dr. Preston Buff, who serves on the MSEA Executive Board, says he’s hopeful that all Mississippi breed associations will be represented, as well as the membership of MSEA.
Dr. Buff describes the meeting as an informal gathering of all groups interested in the development of the Mississippi equine industry. It’s an opportunity to share information and hear first hand future plans for the MSEA.
