Outcome: Initial Outcome
In a successful holiday preparation event, 55 participants joined county extension agents from the Lake Cumberland Area for "Kickstart the Holidays," a day-long holiday prep event. "Kickstart the Holidays" covered a range of holiday-related topics. Holiday preparation classes are crucial for various reasons, enabling individuals and families to better manage their finances during the holiday season, thus helping them avoid overspending and financial stress. Additionally, these classes promote a deeper understanding and appreciation of cultural and family traditions, preserving the significance of these customs for generations to come. The public attended four classes: a class on container gardens, family finances during the holidays, maintaining holiday traditions, and creating holiday flower arrangements. A post-event survey revealed impressive results, with 100% of attendees feeling better prepared to manage their finances during the holidays. 77% reported an increased understanding of family traditions, and 68% strongly agreed that they had acquired new strategies for creating holiday arrangements. The event culminated with a traditional holiday recipe, Burgoo, which was enjoyed by all. Furthermore, 97% felt they left with a fresh and healthy holiday recipe to enjoy with their families this holiday season, leaving everyone well-prepared and inspired for the holidays.
