South Carolina State Fair - Agriculture Education Initiative
SC State Fair’ is continuing to build on their agriculture education program and need some help getting the word out to our agriculture students. They are hoping students that live on farms or that are studying agriculture would be willing to send them some short videos about life on a farm and they will share videos on social media. Some of the videos will be on display during the fair and perhaps added to our website.
If a student submits a video, we will add their name to a random drawing to win a VIP tour during the fair. Details Here.
