SUMMARY:Electric Fence-Building Workshop in Mount Jackson
DESCRIPTION:Build fencing skills in the field\nVirginia State University Cooperative Extension will hold an electric fence workshop Oct. 21\, 2026\, in Mount Jackson\, Virginia. The day runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and centers on hands-on installation of high-tensile electric fencing with Gallagher Fencing. Farmers who want to understand fence construction through practical work can use the session to connect equipment choices with the demands of their livestock operation. The workshop is free\, includes lunch and has room for up to 40 participants. Gallagher and Martin’s Native Lumber support the event. \nPrepare for a working day\nOrganizers recommend bringing gloves\, safety glasses and hearing protection. Plan clothing and footwear for outdoor work\, and ask about weather arrangements when registering. A useful way to prepare is to write down the problems you want a new fence to solve: animals escaping\, difficult paddock moves or an aging boundary. Those observations can help you frame questions during the workshop. If you have a proposed fence project\, a simple sketch with gates\, terrain changes and water access may help you explain your situation. These are preparation suggestions\, rather than a published equipment list or a promise that instructors will design individual farm systems. \nConfirm the location and register\nThe public listing gives Mount Jackson Methodist Church\, 141 Orkney Drive\, Mount Jackson\, VA 22842\, as the event address. Its description also says participants will work at Llamazing Blessed Homestead. Confirm where to gather and whether travel between sites is involved before leaving home. Registration matters because the workshop has a participant limit. Contact Marian Dalke at 540-232-6010 or mdalke@vsu.edu with questions about registration\, the work site or accessibility. Ask whether your protective equipment meets the day’s needs and whether there are tasks you should expect to perform. Keep the registration confirmation available for arrival instructions and any schedule updates. The organizer’s event page links to the registration form and remains the best place to check changes before the workshop. \nOfficial event information | Register
