LTAC Apparel Store
Closes 1/22/21!
The Locust Trace AgriScience Center Apparel Store is now open!! This site is created and managed by 10th Planet, and they will handle the orders and processing. The store is open now until January 22, 2021. You can purchase any item with either the LTAC wolf logo or the LTAC FFA logo. You can purchase from either logo and check out in one transaction. When checking out, you have the option to have items shipped directly to your house for a fee, or you can have them delivered to LTAC free of charge. A date will be scheduled for picking up the items once they have been received at LTAC. Directions for LTAC pick up will be emailed at a later date and will outline the protocol to minimize contact between staff and visitors.
The store will close on January 22nd and orders will be processed in 2-3 weeks. Opening the store like this and processing all of the orders at once keeps the cost lower for you and your student. The store will open again later in the spring. Some of the items will be changed over to spring/summer apparel.
Profits from the purchases will benefit all FFA members at LTAC.
If you have any questions, please direct them to Mrs. Higgins at latissa.higgins@fayette.kyschools.us. If you call the school, Mrs. Collins will take a message and forward it to me.
