As a result of a community outreach and networking agency input, the Kenton County Cooperative Extension Service partnered with the Kenton County Library Erlanger Branch, Northern Kentucky Health Department, Kenton County Schools Family Resource Centers, and several other health organizations to host an Expectant Parent Baby Shower Resource Fair. The goal of this event was to provide expectant parents and those with small children with needed education and community resources. Topics included the Importance of Parent Connection, Effects of Drug and Alcohol on the Baby during Pregnancy, and How to Read to Your Children. The Family and Consumer Science Agent provided nutrition information for expectant mothers and young children and making baby food. The participants gained knowledge on the above topics as well as access to community resources and the knowledge to improve their health and the health of their children. Thirty-two parents participated in this event. Fifteen vendors attended to provide participants with pertinent information and supplies.
