 Agricultural Demonstrations (AGDEMOs) Minimize

Welcome to the Agricultural Demonstrations (AGDEMOs) Area
of the Common Ground Country Fair!

The 2010 application will be available early Spring.

Education is the main focus of this area. We are especially interested in exhibits and talks that provide “how to” information. Prospective demonstrators should keep this in mind when organizing booths and/or presentations.

The application packet for the 2009 Agricultural Demonstrations Area is posted below for your reference.

Please note that there are two different applications included in the packet: one for Educational Tables in the tent and one for Speaking/Demonstration time slots.

The fair office will send out confirmation forms after our volunteer coordinators review the applications.

If you would like to be added to the area mailing list,
please send your contact information to MOFGA.

 Coordinators Needed Minimize

The Ag Demo area is in need of input and volunteer effort now and at the Fair. The following are some areas of need. Please email Adam Tomash at bluemoonmac@roadrunner.com or call 582-5248 with your ideas or to sign up for the volunteer list.

Volunteers would get another mailing as we get closer to the fair. I would like 8 volunteers-one for each of two, 4 hour shifts at each of 4 tents-Ag Demo A and B, the Ag Demonstrations Exhibitors Tent and the AV Tent. The AV tent volunteers should be acquainted with operation of slide projectors, computer presentation hook up with digital projector. We need one volunteer for each tent for two shifts each day or 8 volunteers altogether.

We are also in need of someone who knows how to clean seed with the type of equipment which has been at the fair in the past. At least some of that equipment will be present at the fair this year but we need some knowledgeable people to run it, particularly on Friday. We also will need some raw seed to process if you have any kicking around.

Exhibitors: Exhibitor Recruitment - who do we want? how do we invite new participants? Do you have topics you want addressed in the Ag Demonstration Exhibitor area at the fair? Are there past speakers you would/would not recommend?

Presentation Application Reviews: Want to have a say so in who gives presentations?

Booth & Tent Set-up: Mapping out what's on paper on the ground--set up tables and chairs-put up signs on Thursday before the Fair.

Demos: Topic Development - what do we want to be talked about?

Speaker Recruitment: Who do we want to do the talking? If you have ideas for topic can you give me proposed speaker(s) and contact info?

Speaker Tent Management: Welcome speakers, stage/time manager, someone to manage chairs, flip charts, etc... Volunteers for 4 hour shifts at the Fair. 8 shifts available. Being there to welcome, observe, troubleshoot and manage. Hand out speakers materials and feedback forms to attendees for feedback via the fair feedback kiosks (in planning stages). Give presenters their t-shirt or honorarium check and meals ticket at the conclusion of each talk. Keep dry erase board up-to-date with changes and cancellations.
