Caldwell County Schools

We invite you to participate in the 4th Annual Caldwell Agriculture Expo, a unique opportunity for Caldwell County students and community members to explore the agricultural industry.  Through this event, we hope to cultivate student interest, harvest opportunities for career exploration and provide an opportunity for students and the community to become more aware of the ways in which people prosper and succeed in agricultural careers.

The event is scheduled for Friday, April 19, 2024 for all seventh-grade students enrolled in the Caldwell County Schools from 8:30 am to 2:00 pm at the Caldwell County Fairgrounds. On Saturday, April 20, 2024, the event is open to the public from 9 am to 2 pm. We plan to reserve more than 80 exhibitors and anticipate approximately 1,000 students, teachers, and volunteers on Friday, with an additional 3,000 or more visitors on Saturday.
