McHenry County Farm Bureau Could Use Your Help

This message from State Representative Mike Tryon-R-64th District:

Ag Expo, one of their largest events, will be held at the McHenry County Fair grounds from April 13th to the 16th. The expo is held on an every other year basis and features 20 agricultural topics for third and fourth grade students. Since it began in 1988, 37,000 youth have attended this event. They are now accepting volunteers for the following positions: group leaders, bus parkers and time keepers. Please forward on to others that might be interested as well.
