Barbecue

 

The Barbecue will be on Wednesday evening January 30, 2008. The tickets can be purchased when registering for the conference for $15. This price is not included in the registration fee for the conference. The social hour begins at 6:00 p.m. and the buffet at 6:30 p.m. Beer is included in the ticket price. Dress is Casual. Entertainment will be provided and a special performance by the Aggie Wranglers. If you have not purchased a ticket for the BBQ Dinner and Dance, please see the Registration area.

At the Barbecue, Arvid Johanson, "Screwball of 2007," will present the "Screwball of 2008" Award. The tradition of naming someone as "Screwball" began in 1948 as a friendly rivalry joke during a session at the Symposium. The next year the joke was returned, and thus, became an annual tradition. The name is bestowed in jest, but is intended literally. The recipient receives a certificate, a pin, and a lot of "ribbing."
