State Sen. Cheryl Pflug, other legislators and Lt. Gov. Brad Owen met in Yakima in early September to start planning for a new “Agricultural Fair of the Americas” to promote Washington agriculture.
Snoqualmie Valley-area legislator Pflug serves on the Legislative Committee on Economic Development and International Relations, a group led by Owen. The committee met Sept. 2.
The proposal calls for the Central Washington Fairgrounds in Yakima to be used as a showcase for Evergreen State agriculture and efforts to food supplies for the hungry.
“Agriculture is a vital sector of Washington state’s economy and we are anxious to hear first hand about some of the incredible, world-class advancements going on right within our borders that hold promise for the entire nation and world,” Owen said in a statement.
Residents can watch the agriculture meeting online at the statewide public affairs network website, www.tvw.org.
