History of the High Prairie Agriplex Facility
Under the leadership of long serving President, Louise Zahacy, and the hard work of the Board of Directors the Ag Society broke ground to start the construction of the Agriplex facility in 1993.
The High Prairie Elks donated the land our facility sits on and was an important partner in getting this project off the ground.
