The Warren County Extension Agents and Staff created a fun, mobile educational program to highlight all program areas offered by the Cooperative Extension Service entitled “Extension on the Go”.  This collaborative effort focused on compiling a themed bag full of educational materials, family activities, recipes and more for Warren County residents to enjoy.  For September, Fun Family Adventures was the theme and the bag included:  seeds and educational materials on how to grow a salad garden, KY Proud recipes and meal planning guide, Farmer's Market shopping guide, list of Bowling Green/Warren County walking trails, guide on how to make a leaf print to identify trees, list of local honey producers and a honey treat, top five ways to celebrate Fun on the Farm and some inspirational mental health tips!   

Fifty bags were created, and all were claimed within the first few days.  From information gained in a follow up survey we learned that due to the Extension on the Go Program:

91% of the respondents indicated the program lifted their spirits  

82% feel more confident in your ability to select prepare and store produce from the farmer’s market
