Botetourt County Libraries and community partners held the annual Ag Day event at the Eagle Rock Library last Saturday.

Attendees had the chance to visit with master gardeners in the event’s gardening area, members of Central Academy Middle School and James River High School FFA, and STEM and Extension Agents.

Stations were set up throughout the Eagle Rock Library where attendees could learn more about Botetourt’s agriculture community while enjoying light refreshments.

Visitors also were able to meets some of the animals from Jeffery’s Funny Farm and Eagle Rock wildlife. The event also featured agriculture demonstrations, children’s activities, and more information about how the community can play part in preserving natural resources and growing their own food.

“Ag Day 2024 was a wonderful event,” Eagle Rock Library Branch Manager Jennifer Hannah said when asked about the event. “We had beautiful weather, and a variety of stations inside and outside that represented our community and area agriculture. It was wonderful seeing all the interaction between our presenters and guests!”
