Ag Showcase

Ag Showcase

The Agriculture Showcase allows the public to interact with businesses throughout Wisconsin! Most of these businesses have an agricultural aspect in the production of food goods or agricultural products. These businesses cater to all individuals, families or other businesses in the agricultural field and beyond. The Fond du Lac Area Agri-Business Council is again joining with the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board and Festival Foods to rock around the clock at the 2012 event!
