Get ready!

Get ready because the Olmsted County Fair will be here before we know it! The AgStar Miracle of Birth Center planning committee has been hard at work making preparations for the Center's opening for the third year during the fair, which is located in the middle of Rochester, Minn. Now with the warm weather, we're really getting excited!

Each year the Birth Center has been open, the planning committee tries to make it even better for the next year. For 2013 we have added a new chicken exhibit. Here's a preview of what it will look like:

So until the fair arrives, check back for more updates about the new exhibit. We'll also be updating you about other details about the Birth Center as the fair approaches.

You can also follow us on Twitter @AgStarMOBC #AgBirthCenter or like AgStar Miracle of Birth Center on Facebook!

Stay tuned!
