   On Wednesday we head to the Summer Synergy!
**Olds Agricultural Society and Calgary Stampede are committed to provide a collaborative venue to showcase youth in agriculture by combining traditional elements with innovative approaches for personal achievement and development. This will increase inter-breed interaction, avoid duplication, improve financial sustainability, engage the public and enhance the profile of rural lifestyle and primary production.

 Of course we have to thank our sponsors, everyone knows without them showcases such as this wouldn't be possible!
So a huge thanks to Calgary Stampede Foundation, ConocoPhilips, Ted & Enid Jansen, UFA, Olds College, RBC Foundation, Future Ag (Kubota), Meyers Norris Penny, Mountain View County, Westway Farms & Olds Agricultural Society!
