My American Farm at the State Fair!

My American Farm has been on the road and visiting state fairs this summer! 

The first stop was the Wisconsin State Fair in West Allis. Almost 200,000 students visited the rural-based Discovery Barn at the fair. Here, students had the opportunity to play the fun and educational games on the My American Farm app. To find out more about My American Farm at the Wisconsin State Fair check out this Hoard's Dairyman blog!

Next up was the Indiana State Fair in Indianapolis! Here students also played My American Farm games. Additionally, students made Living Plant Necklaces and faux flower pens. Through these hands-on activities students learned the science behind plants and got to experience seed planting firsthand.
