Maui Agriculture Fair

Posted on by

The Agricultural Fair was a blast! These images are just a small sample of the numerous fascinating events covered this year. The animal auction was fascinating, with Goodfellow placing the winning offer of $7.00 per pound on the steer in the images. What matters most in relation to the 4-H events? Our Maui children are taught how to raise livestock and grow a variety of foods. It’s lovely to watch them develop, pick up knowledge, and become valuable resources for our island.
