On the fifth and final day of the fair we sold every last bag of chips we had and we got to see that as a team we could accomplish anything. We participated in a Puerto Rican Purebred Horse Show and we got to meet the president of the Federation of the Puerto Rican Purebred Horse Association. We had a surprise visit from our ex-professor John Fernandez Van Cleve who was an honored guest at the activity and an Alpha Zeta member.

The fourth day of the fair March 20 we didn’t want to sell anything and took the day off to enjoy the fair as a group.

The third day of the fair we successfully sold all the ginger (all 6 boxes) and continued selling well the different types of chips.

On the second day of the fair March 18^th we had a successful sale of turmeric, we sold it all. We continued selling ginger and the Lares chips that included cassava, dasheen, plantain, breadfruit, sweet potato and lile Malanga chips.

We participated in the 5 Days with our Earth fair, a yearly celebrated fair in our college campus. We bought a huge quantity of merchandise from “Harinas de Lares” a local and traditional chip maker from Puerto Rico to sell at the fair. We also sold ginger and turmeric which we had collected a few days earlier from our dear Dr. Custodio’s farm who is always a great help to us.

On March 6 we visited a horse farm to help feed, clean pens and learn some history about the Puerto Rican purebred horses. It was a great experience because many of us had not worked with horses before. We are planning on revisiting the farm to learn more about horses and continue helping the farm owner.

We went bowling on February 8 to chill out after the first round of tests for this semester. After bowling we played a few arcade games to finish the night.

Our Agricultural Sciences Department held a coffee fair, to promote everything about coffee. We had a small table where we sold muffins, cookies, danishes and oriented people about coffee. We had a lot of fun during the whole activity especially being so close to christmas where in Puerto Rico we basically start celebrating on November 1st and who doesn't love coffee. It was a great atmosphere there was music, dancing and great friends.

On November 8th we went to a pig farm in the town of Moca to work with pigs. We injected supplemental iron, tattooed their ears, castrated and weaned the pigs. It was a great learning experience for both the candidates and the old members because some of them had never worked with pigs. After a hard day of work working with almost 90 pigs we went to eat and shared some of our stories with this year’s candidates.
