Probably
not, our sessions are only 20 minutes long with a speaker and an activity
period. If animals are used, they are for demonstration and with the instructor.
In the past, we have had at least one session with an animal - after all, the
program is about agriculture! Our procedure is to have washing stations at any
site with an animal. Because we are in a structured environment, all students go
to the wash station before proceeding to the next station. This procedure also
is in place for any food sessions we offer.
We are unable to accommodate everyone's
track requests so it is better to just assign tracks as the spaces allow. Many
times the track sessions changes just days before the event. It would be a
disservice to you if we promised something and could not deliver. Since the
majority of our presenters VOLUNTEER their time, we cannot guarantee special
sessions or tracks. We strive to provide quality sessions in ALL our tracks with
interactive activities and take homes.
Our most asked question! During the course
of Ag-Venture we have over 600 adults participate and the cost would be
prohibitive. We are unable to distribute hats to the adults.
It depends on your registration numbers.
Each track can accommodate 150 students. If your school registers 100 students,
we can accommodate 50 more students from another school. We try to accommodate
as many schools as possible on a first-come basis.
YES! The Florida State Fair has a
School Field Trip program during the Fair that includes many Ag Venture
activities. The Fair has 13 educational exhibit areas at the Fair including an
Ag Venture tent where students can participate in hands-on activities. A Student
Almanac is also available to enhance the learning aspects of each exhibit. There
is a cost for this program. See the Florida State Fair web site at
www.floridastatefair.com for more
information.
