Success StoryPumpkin Week



Pumpkin Week

Author: Catherine Weaver

Planning Unit: Jessamine County CES

Major Program: Family Development General

Plan of Work: Improved Communication, Family, and Life Skill Development

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Pumpkin Week:

Because of in-person meeting restrictions, the Jessamine County Extension Office has moved to incorporate virtual options and independent study pick-up kits. This has allowed clients to stay engaged and provided new opportunities for Extension Programs to involve the entire family. Jessamine County Extension worked together to put together a great week for the entire family. Youth signed up in advance and received an activity kit with a STEM activity and several crafts in it.  Extension posted pumpkin recipes, growing information on pumpkins, and held a pumpkin contest for the community.  Also included in the kit was an information packet that contained pumpkin facts and  additional recipes.  We had 25 youth pick up activity packets for the week. We had 15 folks participate in our pumpkin decorating/carving contest. We received over 500 likes/votes on the pictures. We gained 20 new page likes as a result of Pumpkin Week.
