"We still get kids who don't know where their food comes from," she says. "They're more knowledgeable when they leave," adds co-chair Steve Bowers. The two-day festival - the only one of its kind in Ontario to combine agriculture and water conservation in one festival - attracted 19 schools, one home schooling group and 593 Grade 4 students this year to the Seaforth Agriplex and arena. But, both Bowers and MacGregor say they'd love to see more schools come to the festival, which was whittled down from three days to two. "This year, registration was a little slow coming in so we decided to go to two days. But, we have a 900 -student capacity over three days so if we could get more schools out, we could offer the third day," says Bowers. Because close to $10,000 was fundraised from local farm organizations, businesses and service groups, the festival has no registration cost to schools See FESTIVAL, Page 8
