With over thirty vendors including KDA's mobile Ag Sciences lab, live music, Bluegrass Green Source and Intercounty Energy the over 250 people in attendance were able to explore the new Extension Facility while learning new ways to improve the environment around them.
The event was a partnership between BCEO, City of Danville, Bluegrass Greensource and Clarks Run Environmental Education Corp (CREEC), with great support from Centre College, Rumpke, KY Science Teachers and Watershed Watch.
Over 50 children were able to participate in hands on activities to learn about how water moves throughout the watershed, see different wildlife species that live in their local environment and 100 trees were given away
