Natrona County Cow-Belles host 33rd Annual Casper Ag Expo
The 33rd Annual Casper Ag Expo was held Feb. 11-12 in the Industrial Building at the Central Wyoming Fairgrounds in Casper.
Organized by the Natrona County Cow-Belles, the event brings third-grade students from across Natrona County together for two days of hands-on agricultural education.
More than 800 third graders attended this year’s event, which featured 19 educational stations focusing on all aspects of agriculture.
A host of volunteers including area ranchers, local businesses, 4-H members and leaders, FFA members and more provided educational opportunities for students, focusing on everything from crops and equipment to live animals.
Ag Expo Coordinator Katrena Crimm says the event serves an important purpose, educating kids about where food comes from and the many influences of ag in their everyday lives.
“As our population generationally becomes more and more removed from ag, it’s increasingly important to have opportunities like this to connect kids with all the components of ag,” says Crimm. “The ability to learn hands on is huge, and we try to include as many students as we can.”
The 34th Annual Casper Ag Expo is slated for Feb. 10-11, 2027. Crimm encourages interested volunteers or sponsors to visit the Natrona County Cow-Belles Facebook page for more information.
