Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development
With Covid shutting down meetings and other things we lost our county fair. After discussion with CEC, Ag Council and Homemaker councils we decided to try to host an event for clients to showcase their home and garden work. It would be two years without fair entries if we didn’t try something different. FCS and AG collaborated on the task. We first found a name: Bounty of the County. This would allow clients to bring in what they had been entering in the fair.
