~ VC-CWA August "Meetings" ~

For lots of reasons, August is a very busy month for the local agriculture community... This month, we are excited about two giant events:
- The 2021 Ventura County Crop Report has been released! Scroll down a bit and you can see the totals... When the full report is available online, we will share the link right here.
- And possibly even more exciting... Instead of our regular monthly meeting, we will be meeting every day at the Ventura County Fair! Yes, VC-CWA will be meeting every day, from August 3-14 in the Agriculture Building - and while we're there, we will be serving as co-hosts for all the fun activities offered by local agriculture friends. Taking pictures of cute kids in our photo booth, teaching about citrus, avocados, and more, our signature "Garden-in-a-Glove" craft on youth day, sharing our enthusiasm for agriculture in general - great times are coming!

The Ventura County Fair is great fun, and we look forward to its return after its COVID-19 hiatus...
