There will be many display booths set up from commodity groups, agricultural boards, and producers of our local food.\u00a0 <\/span>There will be a bouncy cow for the children to play in and papers and booklets for them to colour and read later.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span>Parents can pick up a sign that can be placed at their gate saying \u201cChilden at Play\u201d.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

July 2 is an opportunity to celebrate our rural community by learning about the dairy industry in the most productive county in Ontario, eating a hearty breakfast, and meeting neighbours and friends at Breakfast on the Farm.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
