Meet Patch Editors at this Saturday's Autumn Festivals

Your friendly neighborhood Patch editors will be meeting folks, serving cider and giving out shwag at festivals happening in Glenview and Deerfield this Saturday.

PHOTO GALLERY: Cook County Ag Day at Glenview's Wagner Farm

Third graders learn about tractors, crops and livestock.

For two days, historic Wagner Farm, in collaboration with the Cook County Farm Bureau, played host to nearly 700 area third grade students for Agriculture Day late last month. National Ag Day is actually March 15th, which falls during National Ag Week, March 13th-19th. Due to cold March weather, Wagner Farm and the Farm Bureau decided to postpone Ag Day until April.
