Well over 700 people attended the 7th Annual Two Hills Agri Day & Trade Show on April 22. The event featured educational presentations, country market, trade show, kids’ activities and refreshments.

Two Hills & District Agricultural Society President Lorna Tupechka said there were 50 trade show vendors and the country market attracted 22 vendors.

“Overall, the event went very well. We had lots of good feedback from vendors and people who attended,” said Tupechka.

There was a plenty of interest in the agricultural based seminars that was hosted by Two Hills UFA. Heather Zachoda brought some colourful plants and shared her horticultural knowledge. Maria Champagne shared with the audience some information on agricultural safety which Neil Pugh from DLF discussed legumes and corn varieties. Karlene Yakemchuk talked about funding for cattle and grain producers. Sarah Martin from GS Ranch gave an introduction to training stock dogs.

Smith resident, author and award winning creator of the Alberta History & Travel Companion Mobile App Sheila Willis was on hand at the trade show with Bob Ross who was promoting the Run to the Hills Memorial Motorcycle Rally which is held every July in Two Hills. A petting zoo, indoor mini golf, baseball and basketball challenge, bouncy attractions and petting zoo kept the kids engaged throughout the day.
