AgStravaganza! Brings the Farm to Pyramid Mall

ITHACA, NY - Tompkins County Farm Bureau’s AgStravaganza! will provide the public with an opportunity to learn about agriculture on Saturday, March 22nd from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Shops at Ithaca Mall. This family-oriented, indoor-outdoor event features educational exhibits and lots of hands-on activities. Find out what cows eat, sample some dairy products, see antique tractors, take a Stick Horse Ride, meet the Dairy Princess and Ronnie Raindrop, visit with farmers from a diversity of operations and pet a bunny. Bring a water sample from home and the 4-H20 Water Monitors Club will pH test it for you. Just outside visit with a pony, goats, sheep and lamb, calves and a cow and climb into the cab of a big tractor. Agricultural videos for children will be shown throughout the day, and area farms you can visit throughout the year will also be on hand to tell you about their operations.

Sponsored in cooperation with Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County. For more information call 272-2292.
