March 15, 2012 - PRLog -- Wednesday, March 21, 2012 is this year's annual Ag Day celebration at the Capitol in Hartford, and the Connecticut State Grange will be participating. Located in the North Lobby of the Capitol building from 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM, over 50 agricultural associations, including the Connecticut State Grange, will be present to answer questions and distribute information.
