8 Fun SUMMER Ag Activities
Today my friend Kassie and I traveled to the Mississippi Valley Fair! I got wind that their new education barn was fantastic and I had to see for myself. Boy were they right! I could hardly get Kassie away from the interactive petting zoo. And the vet station was perfect for all ages! I was able to listen to a dog's heartbeat and draw blood all while being entertained by some awesome and funny vet students. School is approaching but before the days get shorter be sure to cross these 8 fun summer ag activities off your list.
