Volunteer for the 2024 Oregon Ag Fest
By Bonnie King, OSBA Fairs & Exhibits
Spring has sprung! April 27-28 are two much anticipated days for Oregon kids and agriculture enthusiasts, and we’re ready! The Oregon Ag Fest will bring more energy, education and memorable moments than you’ll ever expect.
Please join us in the OSBA booth for a 3-hour shift, and if you can’t do that, maybe you can help set up or break down the booth. Everything you can do is much appreciated. Last year there were over 22,000 visitors at AgFest, and a great number of them visited our booth. The biggest attraction is always the live bees. Kids will stand in line for their chance to get up close (and get a honey stick!).
We hand out educational materials, show them products of the hive and refer future beekeepers to local group meetings.
Oregon Ag Fest is held at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem and though it’s geared for kids, all ages enjoy this annual event. This two-day, hands-on, activity-filled festival celebrates Oregon Agriculture like no other.
We set up one day in advance of the event. We need you! If you can help with a 3-hour shift, or with set up/take down, please let me know. Mark your calendar for the last weekend in April.
And please, BEE there!
