NPARL hosted a special “Decades Party” Thursday, Nov. 6, in honor of the 50^th Anniversary of its parent agency, the Agricultural Research Service. The event included booth displays featuring ARS discoveries by decade at the national and local levels, along with additional information on what else was happening in the world at that time. NPARL employees sitting the booths also joined in the fun  by dressing in the fashions of their favorite decade.
