The Thanks For Farming tour is making a stop in Lethbridge in early July.

Organizer Jeremy Matuszewski says it's a chance for farmers to get out of the field for a day or two and hear some inspiring, educational or entertaining speakers.

"We wanted to find a way to connect with farmers across western Canada when COVID kind of shut everything down and the second, and maybe bigger part of it, we felt not a lot of people say 'thank you' to farmers," he says. "I mean we say thank you to a lot of different professions, and well deserved, but oftentimes the farmers are forgotten."

The event goes July 7th and 8th in Lethbridge.

"We've got three different locations that we're going to be visiting this summer and for the farmers that attend we're going to be bringing in some educational speakers, some motivational speakers, some entertainment, we've got companies from all across western Canada that are going to be showcasing some pretty innovative products."
