Over 500 students from fifteen schools in Huron and Perth counties enjoyed the two-day Huron-Perth Agriculture and Water Festival in Seaforth this week. Most of the students are in Grade 4.
The Agriculture part of the Festival is held in the Agri-Plex while the Water part is held in the arena.
Co-ordinator Denise Iszczuk from the Ausable Bayfield Conservation Authority says there were 24 exhibits altogether, and all of the students got to see each one.
The Lake Huron Centre for Coastal Conservation hosted an exhibit on plastic pollution in the Great Lakes, and the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority hosted a soil and water exhibit.
The festival is organized and delivered by a committee of over 50 volunteers with an interest in water, agriculture, and the environment in Huron and Perth counties.
