Colorado Farm Show

Description

Throughout the years, the Colorado Farm Show continued to grow. In 1968 Colorado Dairy Days was incorporated into the Colorado Farm Show. By now the show had grown to 67 exhibitors. In 1969 the Ladies Day program -- featuring booths and presentations -- was added, making the show of even more interest to the entire family. Also in that year the Chamber of Commerce provided free lunches to show visitors. By 1970 all booth space in the Community Building was sold out. An antidote to these growing pains came about the next year when a board of directors was created to establish policy and provide direction for the volunteers. The board included past general chairmen, dairy and ladies' program chairmen and an extension agent. The event - which continues to burst at the seams - features educational programs by speakers of regional and national stature. And exhibitors, including those from Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, and Montana, fill all available exhibition space with state-of-the-art machinery, products, and services. Waiting lists for exhibit space have existed year after year. And year after year, Colorado Farm Show volunteers have managed to find ways to expand the facilities at Greeley's Island Grove Regional Park, including using a large heated tent for several years.
