State Fair of West Virginia engages the future agricultural figures
FAIRLEA, W.Va. (WVVA) -Located in the West Virginia building there is a division that turns heads when walking by.
Filled with creativity and agriculture, kids decorate different types of vegetables and fruits to design something new.
From gum ball machines to birds, this Funny Things Division is used to inspire kids to get involved with the world around them.
The Agricultural Product Superintendent says this gets kids involved at a young age and hopefully keeps them involved for their lifetime.
“The earlier that we get exhibitors engaged, they become lifelong exhibitors. So, if we can get them interested in one item, then usually they come back the next year and they enter one more item. Then the next year they might enter five more items. And before you know it, we have exhibitors that are entering 50 entries at a time,” said Jennifer Sprouse, Agricultural Product Superintendent.
