Saskatoon, Sask., July 14, 2022 –Farmers making their way to Ag in Motion next week for learning and product demonstrations will also enjoy a chance to socialize and network with Western Canada’s vast farming community.
“Something we’ve all been looking forward to is seeing each other in person once again,” says Rob O’Connor, Ag in Motion show director. “Special events at Ag in Motion are designed to help bring existing connections back together again and create new ones, and we are more excited than ever to offer these events for the farming community to gather.”
Highlights for special events taking place during Ag in Motion, July 19-21, include:
- Field of STARS, presented by Nutrien – July 19 at 6:00 p.m.
The 5th annual Field of STARS event, presented by Nutrien, is a country-themed event featuring industry networking, dinner, dancing, live and silent auctions and special concert performances by Charlie Major and Jess Moskaluke all in support of STARS Foundation.
