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.
We would be delighted to have you attend our show and look forward to seeing you this summer.
