State Fair Ag Exhibit Pt 1
From the Ag Information Network, I’m Bob Larson. It’s no secret that fair season is a time of year built around agriculture, and this year at the Washington State Fair in Puyallup, they’re taking it a step further.
Washington State Fair Chief Experience Officer, Andrea
Thayer says that’s the focus of a great new exhibit celebrating local flavor and farming pride …
THAYER … “Our exhibit that’s opening is called, ‘Our Food, Our Farms, Our Washington.’ And we’re celebrating our 125th year anniversary as an organization that started and is rooted and continues to be connected to agriculture.”
Given that, Thayer says the exhibit is a great way to reflect …
THAYER … “And we felt that this was the year to really showcase Washington agriculture and what it means, not only in our historical story, but what it means today, and what it’s going to mean tomorrow.”
Thayer says it’s what the fair is about … and more …
THAYER … “People can come and see competitions of livestock, they can see competitions of home-grown produce, but this is taking it hopefully to a larger scale that gives them a deeper understanding.”
Listen tomorrow for more on the ‘Our Food, Our Farms, Our Washington’ exhibit at the Washington State Fair … coming up in just a few days.
