Saturday marks Ag. Societies Day in Alberta

Sep 20, 2024 | 1:21 PM

Agricultural societies around Alberta are being saluted this weekend.

Saturday, September 21 will mark Alberta Agricultural Societies Day.

There are 292 of these groups across the province that organize a bunch of events such as fairs and rodeos and look after things like community halls and rinks. They look after more than 700 facilities in total.

Organizers say a day like this brings about awareness of what societies do and shows appreciation all their hard work.
