Creating a Classroom for Agriculture
We are saddened that we have had to cancel Barnyard Babies for 2020. The annual kick off to the opening of our summer season, Barnyard Babies was originally scheduled for April 25. This is an event that our community and surrounding communities look forward to each year and we start planning months in advance. But the health and safety of everyone, from our staff, volunteers and exhibitors to the families who attend, take top priority. Please mark your calendars now and plan to join us next year on April 24, 2021.
America’s Farmers Feed the World
POSTER CONTEST
DEADLINE: JUNE 1, 2020
We’re celebrating our 60th anniversary and the contributions of American agriculture to the world. Kids in grade levels 1 through 6 can have fun creating posters to enter in our “America’s Farmers Feed the World” Poster Contest. While your children are home from school looking for activities, encourage them to participate and also pass along the contest information to their friends and classmates… at a safe “social distance” of course! Texting and email will work best.
At the same time they’re being creative, they’ll also learn something about the global importance of U.S. agriculture. The grand prize is $50 and the winning poster will be painted on a sign at our museum. See the official rules and entry form. The deadline has been extended to June 1.
Grand Prize: $50 and poster painted on a sign at our museum
3 First Prizes: $25 winner in each group; Grades 1-2, 3-4, 5-6
9 Honorable Mentions: $10, 3 winners in each group
