Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
I participated in the main extension events that took place at the University of Kentucky-Research and Education Center at Princeton (UK-REC). In the UK-REC all the extension programs are in a recovery period after the devastating effects of the tornado of 2021 that destroyed all the center installations. In these events, there were a total of 329 attendees. Also, I had been on outreach programs for adults and children at Land Between the Lakes and at Fort Campell, there was an attendance of at least 950 people.
