During my stop at the Missouri State Fair this summer, I had the chance to work with the Missouri Cattlewomen and the Missouri State Fair Foundation. With a focus of educating youth about agriculture, the Foundation hosted the “Read to Win” challenge, where kids could earn tickets to the fair and a coloring book for reading books related to farming and ranching.
Children could select from featured books, including my own, to learn more about agriculture, and I’m pleased to report that more than 250 children participated reading a whopping 3,000 books!
Book titles included, “The Perfect Barn,” “The Winter Cowboy,” “The Calf On My Farm,” “The Fabulous, Fantastic Field Trip to the Dairy Farm,” “Growing Vegetable Soup,” “Baby’s First Book of Cows & Colors,” “Rowdy’s Big Day,” and so many more. Visit the Missouri State Fair Foundation’s website at www.mostatefairfoundation.net for the complete list of stories.
