About 200 people attended the second annual CanolaPALOOZA event held Thursday in Portage la Prairie.

The event was hosted by the Canola Council of Canada, Manitoba Canola Growers and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Roberta Galbraith is the member relations manager with Manitoba Canola Growers.

She explained the purpose of the event.

"Today's event was all about learning and hands-on learning and having fun and being interactive," said Galbraith. "All the stations were challenged with doing something that's going to change it up a little bit. I think everybody met that goal."

Over 60 research and agronomy extension experts from across North America were on hand at the event.
