The Youth Agriculture Education Barn gives young fairgoers a chance to discover the fun of farming through hands-on play and exploration!
Designed especially for children ages 3–8, this interactive space lets kids gather eggs in a play chicken coop, harvest pretend fruits and vegetables, shop at a make-believe farm stand, and ride farm-themed toys.
Kids can also dig, scoop, and play in a giant corn bin for even more farm-style fun. In addition, community sponsors offer engaging educational exhibits and activities celebrating agriculture and rural life.
