3. Develop activities to encourage and interest youth in the work of Agricultural Societies;

The RVCAS will accomplish these objectives through various activities such as community fairs, rodeos, gymkhanas, farmers’ markets, riding clubs, heritage and cultural events, community youth programs, community beautification, 4-H programs and bee programs.
