Manitoba Ag Days is extremely excited to present the First Ever Manitoba Social taking place Wednesday January 23, 2019 at the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba’s Dome Building.

“We are always looking for opportunities to continue to grow and expand our show. With this years’ theme of Tell Your Story – Be An Agvocate we wanted to do something extra special to help positively impact our agriculture industry. We have worked with Agriculture in the Classroom -Manitoba (AITC-M) for many years as we recognize the incredible work they do for our industry. They play an essential role in helping educate our youth and future leaders about agriculture and agriculture practices throughout the province. We are very fortunate to collaborate with the Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba to utilize their newly refurbished “Dome” Building located on the grounds of the Keystone Centre. The building holds an incredible amount of agriculture history and the board felt it was a perfect opportunity to help showcase the space with a good old fashion Manitoba social.” stated General Manager, Kristen Phillips.

The event will take place from 8pm until 2am on January 23^rd, 2019. An auction is planned with all proceeds going directly to AITC-M. “It will be a great opportunity for exhibitors and patrons to come meet up, network and share our common passion for agriculture all while raising funds for AITC-M. We hope that funds raised will continue to help support and expand the AITC-M curriculum-based programming in schools throughout Manitoba.” stated Andrea Guthrie, Manitoba Ag Days Media Coordinator.

AITC-M is a non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to developing curriculum-linked programs, resources and activities for teachers and students to learn more about the importance of agriculture in Manitoba. AITC-M’s goal is to ensure all students, by the time they graduate, are ag-literate citizens with enough knowledge to make informed consumer decisions

With less than 2 months until show time Manitoba Ag Days is pleased to announce that this year’s theme will be “Tell Your Story – Be An Agvocate”.

Manitoba Ag Days show is an annual three-day exposition of agriculture production, expertise, technology and equipment that attracts visitors from across Canada, and the United States. Manitoba Ag Days show will take place at the Keystone Centre January 22-24, 2019 in Brandon, Manitoba. “We are 100% Pure Farm, focusing purely on agriculture attracting over 50,000 visitors annually. As a board we feel it is an important time to have a voice, share our passion and be proud of what we do. Agriculture has evolved so much and consumers, now more than ever, have an interest in understanding how their food is produced. We need to take control of the information out there. We have a unique opportunity to educate and change the perceptions of Agriculture. Each one of us has the power to do so, each one of us has a voice.” stated Brad Crammond, Manitoba Ag Days board co-chair.

“Our exhibitors were excited and jumped on board with our theme for 2019. Patrons will notice facts about the agriculture industry displayed throughout the show. We will be announcing a brand-new event that will be taking place at this year’s show in the upcoming days that is directly related to our theme! The board feels very strongly that this is the right time for everyone to step up, tell the Agriculture story, have a voice and be proud of our industry.” exclaimed Kristen Phillips, Manitoba Ag Days Show manager. Throughout the 3 days of the show visitors will be able to listen to over 60 speakers share information about our industry and the importance of connecting with consumers. Adrienne Ivey, a well-known Canadian rancher, will be joining us on Tuesday January 22^nd to share her thoughts on Connecting with the Consumer: The True Story of Food. On Thursday, January 24^th, we have a whole panel talking about Learning and Growing through Networks. The 60 speakers we have brought in for 2019 are educational, informative and incredibly knowledgeable.

The Manitoba Ag Days board challenges everyone involved in the agriculture industry to Be An Agvocate and #tellyourstory. Be #Agproud at #agdays19 and share a #farmfacts whenever the opportunity presents itself.
