Clyde Kessler and Scott Jackson-Ricketts set up a BRDC booth at the 4th annual Hokie Bugfest.  This year's Hokie BugFest (HBF) attendance was 6,112 - a significant increase over 4,229 of last year.

Our set-up consisted of a selection of insect and spider field guides, drawing pads and colored pencils, encouraging the kids to draw their favorite bug.  Then Scott pressed the sketch into a button for the kids to take home.  Over 200 buttons were made at the BRDC table.
