Ag Expo Offers New Products and Seminars for the Entire Family

Portales, N.M. -- The New Mexico Ag Expo, Feb. 26 & 27, sponsored by New Mexico Bank and Trust and Plateau Wireless, offers seminars, events and booths for the entire family.
The Expo will feature a Women’s Building with vendors representing a more diversified booth content with a more non-agricultural related display.

Michelle Bargas, chairman of the Women's Building Committee, said this year’s vendors will be selling and displaying clothing, make-up, antiques, home decor, cookware, candles, wood crafts, paintings and more.

“It is geared more for any type of family event, both gift giving and decorating your home,” Bargas said. “The building is just a beautiful and pleasant experience for anyone who attends the Ag Expo.”

A schedule of Women’s Building events and demonstrations will be available at the Expo, according to Bargas. One such demonstration will be given by Connie Moyers, Extension Home Economist on Cooking Ahead for One, Two, or a Crew at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 27 in the Yucca Room of the Armory. Moyers’ program will include recipes and demonstrations of dishes that can be cooked ahead and are healthy for heart patients and diabetics.

For Women’s Building booth information, contact Michelle Bargas at 505-356-8208.

Admission is free to the Ag Expo and spectators can register to win a 16' stock trailer.

The banquet will be held on Tuesday Feb. 27 at 7 p.m. and tickets will cost $15 in advance and may be purchased at the door for $20.
