Crazy idea that just might work!

So I was having lunch the other day with my favorite Clown Mr. Tadpole and he gave me this idea that worked for them and it might just work for me.
The idea is to offer a free demo at a fair for one day on what we do. That way a fair can truly get a feel of what I do and how I can benefit their fair. Its so crazy it might just work. Now the hard part is to figure out how to put a one day demo together for each of our programs. I love how I have ideas that lead to more work.

Fair time is Fun time!!

School is winding down and the fair is gearing up. The Agriculture and Garden building at the Alameda County fair is going to be fun filled. It will be packed with educational displays and demos. As well as activities for every age group. I can't wait to see all the booths coming in and the exhibits start pouring in. Hopefully we will see everyone there to get out the fair and all the great concerts and exhibits. See ya there!!

Come Check us out!!

Alameda County Fair is right around the corner and we would love for you to come out and check out the Fair and Barn Tours. We are doing a new program there. We are doing "You be the Judge" its a interesting look at judging livestock and how it ties into what we see at the grocery store. It is a walking tour through the livestock barns as we are so famous for. But "Come out and Play" with us at the Alameda County Fair. See you there!!!

Ag Day Camp in the works!

Well my creative mind is hard at work. I am in planning stages of creating a day camp that focus on all different angles of agriculture. The day camp will try to set it's daily schedule to California Ed codes as well as Day camp standards for obtaining life skills. We are excited for the camp and plan on having a couple pilot days at the Alameda County Fair this summer if all goes well. I will be updating the progress of the day camp on here so keep checking in from time to time.

Under Construction

Hey everyone I just want to let you know that both my barn tours websites (.com & .org) are under construction. I want to revamp and try to connect both. So not to worry you can still catch up on everything that we are doing on here or facebook. And if you need to get ahold of us go ahead and email us at barntours@yahoo.com

Barn Tours is high tech!!!

We have done it. We are apart of almost every networking website out there. We are on Facebook, Myspace,Twitter, Ag Job Network and WFA Community. We would love for you to follow, be our friend or just check us out. We are trying all different avenues to get the word out about Barn Tours. Spread the word we are out there and want to be apart of your Fair and Agriculture Education Programs!!

You be the judge!!!

I just wanted to share with everyone that I am putting together a new program called " You be the judge! ". It was inspired thanks to working with the talented people at Alameda County Fair. It takes the public through the process of juding livestock animals and key terms used. And we have judging stations set up and a score card to keep track of the progress made. This allows the public to better connect to show ring and understand what they are watching and listening too. This should be a new and exciting way for the puiblic to see the livestock barns and truly feel apart of the fair experience.
