Also, you may pay upon arrival at the event. We can only accept cash or cheques (payable to Grown in Grey). We will issue a receipt if needed. I am a teacher. I have registered my class. What can I expect once our bus arrives at the arena? Grown in Grey is held at the Chatsworth Community centre. Once your bus arrives, someone will come to greet your class and will ask you to arrange the students into groups of 5 to 10 (depending on the total number of students coming to each session). We will contact you with the projected number of students per group closer to your arrival date. Each group will be escorted into the arena and the escort will take them to approximately seven learning stations. The group will then receive a ten minute presentation from a knowledgeable individual at the station. Many have some hands on content in their presentations. Although there is not enough time for each group to visit every station themselves, each class as a whole will see all of them. Our hope is that each class will then share with one another what they saw and learned at Grown in Grey. After the groups have finished their tour, they will meet at an assembly point and all watch a demonstration. Typically, this has been a milking demonstration. Then it is back onto the bus and to school. A typical itinerary for the event is as follows:
