Thank you to all the exhibitors and patron’s that participated in the first ever Ag Days nostalgia competitions.  For the 40th Anniversary show Manitoba Ag Days encouraged exhibitors to display a nostalgic item at their booths and patrons to dig into their closets and bring out the “retro” items they have been waiting to wear again.
