Innovative Programming
Last year we celebrated Ag Week by creating an on-line tool kit for teachers. All activities were connected to American Farm Bureau Foundation's Book of the Year, I LOVE Strawberries. We had over 600 people register for the kit! Teachers who participated in Ag Week and used specific hashtag were entered into a drawing to the book, ag mags and educator guide. We gave out 25 prizes! We also purchased 100 copies of the book and went to a strawberry farm where we gave out coloring pages, recipe cards, bookmarks and other resources to families who came to see us. We had strawberry fluff dip for people to try with just picked strawberries, which was a huge it! We were also able to give 100 families a copy of the book, it was a great event and we had a good time celebrating the book and Georgia Grown strawberries.
