NORTH PLATTE The third Governor's Agri/Ecotourism Workshop is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 5 and 6, at the Sandhills Convention Center in North Platte.

New to the workshop this year is the Tuesday evening networking event called "Taste of Nebraska Agritourism" from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is a chance for entrepreneurs to showcase homemade and home-grown products, sample a variety of Nebraska-made products, visit with possible partners to cross-market goods, and enjoy an evening of music with folk and jazz artist Terri Jo Dodson. Packaged food and drink products (except for wine and beer) can be sold at the event.

The event will be set up similar to a farmer's market. There will be samples of each product and vendors will have a chance to talk about their businesses and/or products.
