This year's featured speaker will be Mr. Todd Staples, Texas Commissioner of Agriculture. At the culmination of the program, Commissioner Staples will lead attendees to the Food & Fiber Building where each student can experience Texas Agriculture and pick up their goodie bag. Following this all 4-H ers will have time to enjoy a day at the fair.
