It is Spring Again!
For 32 years Newarkers have been celebrating spring by attending Ag Day festivities and this year is no different. This year the event will be held on April 28th from 10 AM to 4 PM, rain or shine.
From early morning rock and roll from Plainview to later folk performances the entertainment lineup looks strong this year. The list of bands and times are as follows:
9:30 AM - Plainview plays Rock and Roll
12:00 PM - “Dodging Cupid” returns to Ag Day.
1:00 PM - Ashling Ah’lyn plays soft rock and folk music with a strong celtic influence.
2:00 PM - “87 Southbound” plays honky tonk and western swing.
3:00 PM - Chapel Street Junction is rooted in bluegrass but plays country and Irish music as well.
While listening to the music, visitors may browse the exhibitors and look at the live animals. A hayride is always a favorite with the kids as are face painting and the horse rides. Adults usually gravitate to the good sausage sandwiches served at the main driveway.
Ag day is being held once again at and around Townsend Hall on the University of Delaware campus.

I just got back from AgDay and it was a hit once again. The kids loved the horseback rides and the hayride ( behing a tractor, a tractor, a tractor!).
The ice cream from Hockessin was very good as always and the weather cooperated in a big way.
Congratulations to the Ag School at the University of Delaware for pulling off another wonderful event.

Sounds like you all had a good time, Alan.
I imagine that the rides went over really well.
