MFU Convention Day Camp offers harvest festival themed activities for Convention’s youth attendees

Family members of all ages can enjoy Montana Farmers Union’s 110th Annual State Convention with a free kids Day Camp to be offered from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. on both Oct. 31 and Nov. 1 for kids ages 5-12.

The days will be full of fun harvest festival themed activities geared to teach kids more about agriculture, including apple growing, scarecrow making, pool time, a costume contest, pumpkin carving, and the pumpkin lifecycle.

“The kids camp at MFU annual convention is intended to provide a safe, fun learning environment for the younger family members at convention. The youth are our future, and this will provide them with a memorable convention experience tailored to their youthful needs and interests,” said Jodi Koterba, MFU’s education director.

Register for the Day Camp when you register for Convention to be held Oct. 31-Nov. 1, with preconvention farm tours offered Oct. 30 and a Family Farm Succession Planning Institute planned Nov. 2, all based at the Yogo Inn in Lewistown. Register at www.montanafarmersunion.com.
