Success StoryLongest Day of Play



Longest Day of Play

Author: Jessica Morris

Planning Unit: Wolfe County CES

Major Program: Health

Plan of Work: Developing Leadership, Citizenship, Health, & Life Skills Among Youth

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Encouraging outdoor activities and opportunities has been a focal point here at the Extension Office since the pandemic began. For the first time we scheduled activities for all age ranges of clientele to participate in to celebrate and take part in the longest day of play. Our day started with Sunrise Yoga at the Lake for 17 ladies. We then transitioned to holding a Color Fun Run/Walk at the Wolfe County Sports Complex where all participants walked or ran a 5K. We had roughly 40 participants in that event and they were hit with paint slime. Up next we moved to hosting an event at two different locations where participants could paint sunflower barn quilts that are going to be placed around Wolfe County as apart of the beautify Wolfe County project that tourism is hosting. We rounded out the day having a community picnic at the community park where participants played games, listened to music and enjoyed each others fellowship. 

All participants had a great time and reported pleasant comments about spending time outdoors with their friends and families. They enjoyed the event and we hope to make it a yearly event adding more activities for years to come!
