Country In The City

Bringing you back to the farm!

The Country in the City exhibit, sponsored by UFA was launched during the 2006 Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede and proved to be a huge success with both visitors and trade show exhibitors. 

Country in the City was initiated to provide a connection between the urban and rural communities by having informative, educational and interactive displays on topics related to agriculture, energy, recycling, and living in the country
