About this event
Starting south of Spokane, we will begin the 2025 Spring Fling at the La Shaw Ranch Roasters outside Rockford. From there, we will tour southeast through the Palouse to Plummer and then east into the mountains to St. Maries. Staying in the St. Joe and Clearwater mountains, we will tour south toward Harvard and Deary, and finally, we will turn west toward Troy and Moscow.
Once in Moscow, we are offering two opportunities. First, Dr. Phil Bass, Associate Professor – Meat Science, will provide a tour of the U of I Vandal Meats facilities and a presentation on the Art of Butchery to obtain the best cuts of meat for your grilling and roasting. No live animals will be involved.
The second simultaneous opportunity is a tour of the U of I Arboretum and Botanical Garden. Established in 1910, the arboretum is planted in four geographic regions: Asia, Europe, Eastern and Western North America. The walking tour of the Arboretum is about 2.3 km.
After the tours, we'll join up again for lunch at a restaurant in Moscow.
