Events and Activities

Ag Adventure Day is a program held every fall for the area Third Graders from the Poudre School District. Our club as well as many others put on a day of education for the kids about the importance of agriculture and teach them about different areas such as farming, raising livestock and tractor safety. The Collegiate booth teaches the students about various seeds and where they are grown around the world.
