Roland 4-H Museum Opens Doors For Open Farm Day

 
Manitobans flocked to over forty sites Sunday as part of Open Farm Day.
 
The event, which is organized by the Manitoba Association of Agricultural Societies, gives Manitobans a chance to experience a farming-related site which they might not normally visit.
 
This year, for the first time, the Roland 4-H Museum opened its doors to the public.
 
Board President Darryl Mullin explained why they decided to take part in the event.
 
"We were approached and we thought, 'yeah, that's great because we're a farming community and 4-H is part of farming, for sure'."
 
He was asked if being part of Open Farm Day would help attract attention for the museum.
 
"Absolutely, we'll welcome visitors anytime. We get them from all over that drop in and that's what we're all about is to show them what 4-H is all about in the past."
