Agricultural Education Day
This Saturday according to an announcement in the paper last night, there will be an Agricultural Education Day in Harwood Maryland at the corner of Rt 2 South and Birdsville Road. The event will be held from 11 AM to 6 PM with all sorts of displays and demonstrations. Though I have not been to this event before, it sounds like an interesting event with the opportunity to get to learn a little more about our local food producers.
