The SCICON BBQ and Wildflower Festival is sponsored by Tulare County Office of Education and the Friends of SCICON. The BBQ is held annually on the third Sunday in April. This is a day when families and individuals of all ages are invited to tour and enjoy the SCICON campus. Stop by the UC Master Gardeners of Tulare/Kings Counties  for some hands on Kids activities. Pick up some free handouts on growing native plants "California Style". Admission is free and all BBQ visitors receive a commemorative wildflower poster by local Springville artist Frances Pyles.
