Major Program: Community Engagement

Plan of Work: Leadership and Communication Skills Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

          More than 500 people attended the International Fall Festival at the Somerset Community College and had a chance to go around the world in one day.  With displays, dancing, music entertainment, and food this was an opportunity for students of all ages to learn about the world outside of the Kentucky borders.

             All in attendance got to taste food from Italy, Italian, Greece, Greek and Germany prepared by the SCC Culinary Arts program.  The Pulaski County Extension Homemakers provided more than 1000 American made cookies for the dessert.

Everyone in attendance, elementary students through college age students, and adults watched the opening ceremony that included a Parade of Nations by Flags.   They also heard about the history of Bagpipes and the Scottish Highland Dress attar.   All were educated about the cultures of Costa Rica, Uganda, Hispanics, the Philippines, Thailand, Chinese, and Africa.  Each of these areas were represented by a native person who talked about their display and their native land.
