| You and your third or
fourth grade students will learn how agriculture (water, plants, bees, fiber, food, and
dairy) completes the many pieces that form the puzzle of our everyday lives. From the food
we eat to the clothes we wear, agriculture affects us all.
AG DAY LA is filled with valuable hands-on educational experiences for
third and fourth grade school students. It provides a fun and exciting way for teachers to
address State Standards, as well as to promote agricultural literacy. The event will take
place in conjunction with the 48th District Agricultural Association’s Agriculture
and Nutrition Fair.
 AG
DAY LA 2009 welcomes children’s author Stephanie Bloom of “A Place to Grow” for an onsite book
reading. Ms. Bloom is a recipient of the “Growing Good Kids Excellence in
Children’s Literature” Book Awards Program; as well as having been a participant
of the Smithsonian’s Horticultural Division’s First Annual Garden Festival. We
are looking forward to this new addition!
AG DAY LA is a joint partnership event sponsored by Fairplex, the 48th
District Agricultural Association, the Los Angeles County Farm Bureau, the Los Angeles
County Department of Agricultural Commissioner/Weights and Measures, and the California
Women for Agriculture-Los Angeles Chapter. This event is designed to educate LA
