Success StoryBounty of the County



Bounty of the County

Author: Chuck Flowers

Planning Unit: Carlisle County CES

Major Program: Agriculture and Extension Leadership Development

Plan of Work: Leadership Education, Community Collaboration, and Advisory Council Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

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.  I found a sponsor to fund premium money for placings and grand champion awards. Our old fair books where updated and workers were in place to take entries in the Bounty of the County on July 13th, 2021. It was also decided to host this at the Carlisle County Extension Office instead of the fair grounds.  Our first year was great we had a total of 504 entries.  Those clients involved all expressed how much they enjoyed the event and want to continue with it next year but bigger and better. I was asked to present a slide presentation on the Bounty of the County at the Homemakers County Annual Day.
