8:00 AM-2:30 PM – Registration
Registration will take place in the Ricketts-Fleming Courtyard (on Olive Walk near the cannon).
Harvesting
Harvesters will be assigned in groups of 5 or so to an olive tree on campus. The Grounds Department will be available to assist the groups with ladders, and will provide buckets, tarps, and other harvesting supplies. Harvesters will collect olives by hand and/or will use rakes to drop olives onto tarps spread beneath the trees and will place the olives into 5-gallon buckets. After harvesting the olives, the groups will bring their olives to the registration area to be weighed.
