Please mark your calendars for the 78th annual UT Block & Bridle Roundup to be held Saturday, March 4th, 2017, in the Brehm Animal Science Arena on the Agriculture Cam- pus at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

The Block & Bridle Club has a busy day planned for 4-H and FFA members from across the region in the Brehm Arena!
