During 2020 most in person Extension programming had to be cancelled in Edmonson County. While many counties utilized virtual programs the Edmonson County FCS Agent realized that many families in Edmonson County did not have adequate internet service to watch live or in some cases even recorded programs online. The FCS Agent began "Extension-on-the-Go."  Educational projects, activities, crafts, and more were packaged up individually and left outside the Extension Office for families to pick up at their convivence. Kits were available for youth and adults and covered a variety of topics. Some of the kits were owl pellet discovery, embroidery, knitting, crocheting, fairy garden,  leaf collection binders, family meal time, Zen garden kits, needle felting,& bird feeders. In October of 2020 the FCS Agent partnered with the two local businesses that sell pumpkins in the fall. The FCS Agent distributed Halloween Fun Kits and Pumpkin Carving kits at these locations and the businesses donated pumpkins to youth. 

In total 1,265 educational kits were picked up by Edmonson County families. Families were asked to fill out an online Qualtrics survey when they participated in Extension-on-the Go. In the survey 21% said they were extremely familiar with extension and were current 4-H or Homemaker members, 11% had never heard of extension before, 41% had attended programs or utilized extensions services in the past and 27% had heard of extension but had never utilized services or attended programs.
