The Caldwell County Ag Expo scheduled for November 1 and 2 has been canceled. The fairground sustained some damages during Hurricane Helene and while we were hopeful that we would be able to host the event we are unable to at this time.

We have rescheduled the event for November 6, 7, and 8, 2025. We will host 7th graders one day, 8th graders one day, and the community on Saturday. This will allow us to serve all our students next year.

Thank you for your understanding.

Seventh Grade students from across Caldwell County Schools participated in the 2024 Agriculture Expo at the Caldwell County Fairgrounds. They had a chance to interact with farmers, agribusinesses, and animals as they learned where the food they consume originates.

The Ag Expo is open to the public on Saturday, April 20th from 9:00-2:00 and is free of charge, thanks to our sponsors and exhibitors.
