Extension Fall Festival

Author: Madalyn Hale

Planning Unit: Clark County CES

Major Program: Community Engagement

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Initial Outcome

"Extension is the best kept secret" is a phrase every extension employee has heard at one point in time. Clark County Extension decided to try and spread the news about all of the wonderful services extension offers and hopefully reach new people thru a Fall Fest event. This event was free and open to everyone of all ages. Many steps were made in advertising this event including articles in the local newspaper and shows on local radio. Many activities were offered from fish casting competition, make and take crafts, free flower bulbs with demo on planting, food tasting for healthy recipes, numerous self led games, corn bins for youth sensory play, and free food for attendees. There was an extension info area where each program area displayed info of class offerings, club activities, volunteer opportunities, and educational information available. All the efforts paid off in the end with more than 500 people visiting the Extension Office, many for the first time ever.
