The Hawaii State Farm Fair is back and this year, organizers are giving away prizes in exchange for learning.

The Ag Challenge is a game designed to teach fair goers about Hawaii’s agriculture.
Participants are given a list of questions that they must answer correctly and turn in, in order to enter a drawing for Wii Sports and three additional games, a Sony PSP and three additional games and an iPod nano. The drawing will take place on Sunday at 4 p.m. They will also award attendees periodically with Bluetooth headsets.
The answers to the Ag Challenge questions can be found on posters, photos, facts and stories about coffee, chocolate, taro and livestock in Hawaii and will be located throughout the fairgrounds.
