ARCOLA - The Moose Mountain Ag Day event is scheduled to take place on March 24 at the Arcola Prairie Place Complex.
This will mark the 20th anniversary and Paul Martin from Martin Charlton Communications will be the guest speaker.
Martin was the first speaker in 2000 when this all began. He is a widely recognized business spokesperson who will be presenting on the agricultural sector. Martin will be speaking at around 7:30 p.m.

The committee consists of local producers, some of which are council members from surrounding RMs. Don Lees from Arcola is an original member.
According to Mark Neuman, this year’s event will be more of a social with a small tradeshow beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Daryl Harrison, the MLA for Cannington, will also be in attendance and will make a few opening remarks.
Lana Shaw, the research manager with the Â鶹ÊÓƵeast Research Farm, will talk about the many beneficial research projects they are working on for this year.
