The Daviess County Cooperative Extension Service hosted their first Open House in many years in May of 2024. The idea behind the Open House was to showcase the different areas of programming Extension has to offer in Daviess County. Members from the County Extension Council and District Board provided input during the planning process. Flyers of the event were sent to all who receive a newsletter from the Daviess County Cooperative Extension Service, local community groups, city/county officials, and posted on social media. Live on Location with WBKR (local radio station) provided promotion of the event beforehand and four live on location interviews during the event. A bingo card was created to encourage people to travel to each area at the Open House. People filled out the bingo card to register for one of the many door prizes provided; they also received a Daviess County Extension t-shirt at the registration table. The Daviess County Cattlemen's Association grilled hamburgers and hot dogs and provided chips, drinks, and dessert. Program areas represented included: Registration, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Horticulture, Garden, Family and Consumer Sciences, 4-H, All Areas Program Assistant, Nutrition Education Program, and Livestock/Tractor. 

The Family and Consumer Sciences booth had information on food safety, food preservation, financial education, recipes, FCS newsletter sign ups and Extension Homemaker club brochures. A Homemaker member volunteered to also help at the booth and talk about Homemakers with visitors. The Daviess County Diabetes Coalition donated a slow cooker to be given away from the FCS booth. Approximately 50 UK Extension Food Preservation publication booklets were given away.

Approximately 250 people showed up to the Open House. Of those who attended, 169 turned in cards to register for the door prizes. Twenty-one people signed up for the Agriculture and Natural Resources newsletter, twenty-eight for the horticulture newsletter, thirty for the family and consumer sciences newsletter, and twenty-six for the 4-H newsletter. Forty-six people reported hearing about the event from Facebook, twenty-five from family/friends, twenty from mail/newsletter, thirteen from previous Extension programming, five from local media, and three from signs on the road/parking lot.
