Games bring awareness and education to fair attendees
Compiled by Nichole Meloche
The Wheels of Agriculture Game Show asks
participants agriculture-based questions, and
they earn points. Topics include food groups,
animals, plants, animal and barnyard sounds
and local agriculture.
The game show will occur at 5 p.m. and 8
p.m. July 17-23 at the Cartlidge Barn.
“Our mission is to entertain and raise agri-
culture awareness and education by playing a
unique audience interactive game show,” said
the game show’s owners.
Participants will spin the Front Steering
Wheel that determines the point value of
each question. If the player gets the question
right, they get the points. If they fail, the audi-
ence can answer. Winners go into the Cash
Cab and grab as many Ag-Bucks as they can
to determine their prize.
The Trivia Tractor serves as the mobile ver-
sion of the Wheels of Agriculture and pulls
behind a smaller version of the game show
stage, traveling throughout the fairgrounds.
Participation is free, and winners will
choose from prizes and trophies.
Pig races will take place at 4:30 p.m., 6:30
