Ag Bash Smash!
Posted on August 14, 2024, by Loretto Community
Over 400 children and grown-ups showed up at Loretto Motherhouse on Saturday, Aug. 3, to play in the corn, soybean and wheat boxes (no sand here), pet the four-day-old chicks and inspect two-story-high farm equipment. The day was a smash hit.
There were free books for all the children and free $5 vouchers for them to buy produce from local farmers. Barbecue and taco food trucks were on site along with leather and other crafts and free snow cones sponsored by Foodland, the Loretto grocery store. The Motherhouse Peace Committee, New Pioneers, Loretto Living Center, KyNect and several others had exhibitor booths.
Rain came early, around 8 am, just when folks were setting up. But the rain was long gone at 10 am when the fun began, and bales of straw soaked up the water and gave us sound footing. All day cool breezes tempered the bright sunshine.
