Social Media for Farm Business

I’m working with UW-Extension here in Dunn County to put on a 2-hour seminar on social media. While targeted at farm businesses, the information covered will be of benefit to anyone running a small business. Registration is just $10, and you get snacks with that! So hey, even if I’m terrible – you get snacks!  🙂

Seriously though, you should register. You can’t beat the price, Extension always puts on a good program, and I always have fun doing these kinds of talks and learning what small businesses are up to. Come join us!

What: Social Media for Farm Business
Where: Room 1402, Dunn County Judicial Center, 615 Stokke Parkway, Menomonie, WI
When: Tuesday, January 28, 2014 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM

Registration Form (Register by January 24)
