HUDSON, N.Y. — With 2017 being the 50th anniversary of Columbia-Greene Community College and the 100th anniversary of Cornell Cooperative Extension in both Columbia County and Greene County, Ag Day is our special event being offered to the community. It will take place on Saturday, June 3 from 10AM to 3PM at Columbia-Greene Community College. Displays, demonstrations and live farm animals will attract families and their children. They will be able to learn more about their neighbors – the farms and farmers who are providing a large economic and tourism base for the counties.
Exhibitor Registration for the Columbia-Greene Ag Day is open and forms are due by May 1. Tented and outdoor spaces are available for you to share your passion with the community. Opportunities are available for demonstrations, displays, farm animals, tastings and sales of farm products. We welcome youth exhibitors as well as adults.
This event is planned as a family-oriented festival, offering hands-on activities and new experiences for all ages. It is a free public event – we wish to make this a celebration of the many years of C-GCC and CCEC-G having been active participants in these counties in support of our local citizens and their well-being. It will take place rain or shine – no alternate date is planned.
The Exhibitor/Vendor fee is $20 per Ag Day application. This fee will be waived for 4-H clubs, FFA’s, C-GCC student clubs and other youth organizations.
