Those wanting to attend the Governor's Forum on Colorado Agriculture at a reduced rate are still in luck, as you have a little more time left to save on registration costs.
Rather than registration increasing from $150 to $200 after Feb. 10, event organizers are pushing the early-registration deadline back to Wednesday, Feb. 15.
There's no ultimate registration deadline for this year's Governor's Forum on Colorado Agriculture, but those who register soon can save.
