Russell Redding, the state’s Secretary of Agriculture, will thank Dr. Thomas Newcome, the retiring superintendent of the Octorara Area School District, for his dedication in supporting and promoting the agriculture industry on June 2 at the OABEST Expo.

Octorara High School will host the OABEST (Octorara Agriculture, Business, Environmental, Science, and Technology) Expo from 9:30 AM-1:30 PM.

Last year’s Expo was well attended and drew approximately 1,500 people, and officials are expecting a bigger audience this year with even more activities and exhibitors planned.
