(Le Mars) — In recognition of the Plymouth County Fair celebrating its 75th
anniversary, the Le Mars Chamber of Commerce Agriculture Committee is proud to
present: “Agriculture: Technical Advances Through The Ages” as part of the overall
agriculture education exhibit of the “aROUND the farm in the BARN” to be on display
in the famous round barn during the Plymouth County Fair, July 27th through July
31st.
Cole Sitzmann, Vice President of the Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce Agriculture
Committee says, “This marks the third year for the Chamber Agriculture Committee
and the Plymouth County Fair Board to showcase agriculture in the famous landmark
building”. Sitzmann says, “Visitors to this year’s fair will notice a different
display than what has been featured during the first two years of the ‘aROUND the
farm in the BARN’. In the lower level of the round barn, people will experience a
walk through agricultural history as they will see seven different Plymouth County
farmers share their stories about the various means of advances in technology”.
“Again, this year the agricultural education exhibit ‘aROUND the farm in the BARN’
will feature several “hands-on” interactive exhibits allowing children to learn
more about agriculture,” said Sitzmann.
“New this year will be a model grain distribution system, complete with augers, and
grain elevators. Children will be able to see how exactly a grain system, found on
many farms, moves grain,” said Sitzmann. The Chamber Agriculture Committee
appreciates the work by Lundell Plastics of Odebolt in creating this interactive
exhibit.
The Le Mars Area Chamber of Commerce Agriculture Committee wishes to thank all the
sponsors who have donated financial gifts, or in-kind contributions, in making the
“aROUND the farm in the BARN” agricultural education exhibit a success.
