USRPA staff members Iris Figueroa and Grace Wang participated in the Rice Education Exhibit at the 54th Annual Harvest Celebration in the Winnie-Stowell Park, Winnie, Texas last weekend. This year, in keeping with the purpose of the Rice Education, Texas Rice Council board members Ben and Debbie Hoffpauir from Hoffpauir Grain DBA HG Rice Mill joined USRPA to educate kids on the process of milling rice and gave out samples to the attendees. 2023 Ray Stoesser Memorial scholarship recipient, Gayla Rose, also joined and interacted with kids and families in all things RICE! It was a great event to educate youth. Participation in community educational events has allowed USRPA to raise awareness of rice and promote rice consumption and education. |
