2008 Ag Day Commodity & Safety Fair

April 9th, 2008



The 15th Annual Ag Day Fair was held April 9th at the Decatur County Fairgrounds with over 300
4th grade students attending.  The goal of the day was to educate the students of the importance of agriculture, natural resource protection and safety.  The theme for the day was ‘Get Fresh! celebrating Fresh Air, Fresh Water, and Fresh Food.’  At the SWCD station, students used the RiverLab to create a waterway and experience erosion first hand.  In the picture to the right board member Reuben Kissel talks to the students about the effects of erosion.
 

Prior to the fair, the 4th grade students participate in a t-shirt design contest using the theme for the year.  This year’s winning design was drawn by Francis Teague of St. Mary’s. The SWCD and the Decatur County Farm Bureau, Inc. co-sponsored the contest providing all students with a shirt with the winning design. 

A BIG thank you to Reuben Kissel and Heather Siesel, Clifty Creek Project Coordinator, for helping us with the station!
