McHenry County Farm Bureau will be hosting Ag Expo April 11-14 at McHenry County Fairgrounds in Woodstock. The program involves 20 agriculture related stations and approximately 3,000 third and fourth grade students. We need volunteers to assist with leading classrooms from station to station. Volunteers are needed for both the 9 a.m. and the 11:30 a.m. sessions. If you are interested in helping, please contact the Farm Bureau at 815-338-1520.
Ag Expo provides students with some basic knowledge about agriculture. It helps the students connect the agricultural industry to the food and products they consume in their daily lives. The expo has been held on an every-other-year basis since 1988 and has reached more than 40,000 students.
