Back to School Ag Bash 2026

By Angela Rakes

The Loretto Motherhouse Back to School Ag Bash was once again a roaring success. Final counts showed 534 people signing in for door prizes. The event was supported by 24 local sponsors, over 50 volunteers, and 15 vendors and educational exhibitors. We are thankful for all of the volunteers, sponsors and partners who make this event a success. Families enjoyed multiple educational stations, activities, farm equipment displays and much more. The Kentucky Division of Forestry and the Department of Fish and Wildlife provided education and activities. A big highlight was the more than $1,200 in local produce that was given away. This produce was purchased from eight farms within 20 miles of the Motherhouse. As many visitors said, “This was the best Ag Bash yet.” We look forward to welcoming everyone next year!
