Activities

Fun for the Whole Family!

Ag Country

The heart of soul of Oregon Ag Fest! With over 25 hands-on activities and an agricultural scavenger hunt that will have you looking for clues in all the exhibits, Ag Country is set-up to reflect a rural town. Watch chicks hatch, shuck corn, dig for potatoes and so much more! You will have the opportunity to plant seedlings, sample Oregon-made products, make a dirt baby, or choose from an array of other activities that make learning about life on the farm fun. All activities are free of charge and aim to gain a better understanding of where your food, fiber, and flora come from.

Petting Zoo

Welcome to “Nosey’s Neighborhood!” Meet “Nosey” the cow and get close to many of her farm friends including goats, sheep, beef cattle, horses, pigs, chickens, and rabbits. Sheep shearing happens throughout the weekend, so stop by and watch a sheep get a haircut, or llamas parade around the ring during the llama show.
