Farmers Day is going "Under the Sea" in 2017 with the Haai Shark Encounter! A 5,000-gallon aquarium will arrive on a semi-truck and in addition to the come-and-go exhibit, a diver will be presenting ten shows: two on Thursday, four on Friday, and four on Saturday. The diver will be able to communicate with the audience using an underwater mask to tell us what is happening in the aquarium. He will be available after the performance to answer questions, and will also give an interesting and educational program before he enters the tank.
