The Purpose: To showcase how great Virginia’s farmers are! (They are dedicated to providing consumers with the best quality food while taking good care of their animals and the environment).To showcase how great eggs are! (Eggs are nutritious, delicious, convenient,
easy, affordable, satisfying & fun!).
What to Do: Design a poster with the headline #whyeggsrgr8! and go from there. You can cut and paste pictures from magazines, use old photos, magic markers, colored paper, paint or do it all digitally – you pick the medium (but not video, please).
The Message Should Be: Either: How great eggs are (and why) OR Why farmers are such ‘good eggs’ (and why) OR Combine the two messages.
Get Ideas From: Egg Readers have a ton of information about the production and goodness of eggs.
