⏰ Last Call for Discounted Rooms! ⏰

There’s still time to lock in the discounted room rate + FREE parking at Harrah’s Atlantic City!

We called Harrah’s yesterday to let them know the room block was full—and they were kind enough to add more rooms just for us 🙌
⚠️ BUT the block closes TOMORROW ⚠️

🤔 On the fence about staying over?
Wednesday evening’s LIVE AUCTION + FREE BUFFET is always such a fun time.
Great food, lots of laughs, and the best part—hanging out with your fellow ag friends 🌽🚜

Come join us. You can break away for one night—we promise it’s worth it 😉

👉 Book now before the rate disappears!
