The Florida State Fair Authority’s Agribusiness Department, in addition with the Hillsborough County Cooperative Extension Service and the Hillsborough County Farm Bureau, will provide these interactive school tours for third grade students from Hillsborough County. Held at the Fairgrounds, Ag Venture is a hands-on learning experience designed to teach students the importance of agriculture and to help them develop an understanding and appreciation of where their food comes from.

To attend these school tours reservations are required and will be made on a first-come, first-serve basis. Spring tours are available from April 14-30, 2009 for those that cannot attend in the fall. Registered attendees should enter the Fairgrounds via the Orient Road entrance.
