The Powell County County Extension Council wanted to develop a program that showcased everything Powell County's Extension Service had to offer. This program would be a recruiting tool to recruit more volunteers and participants in Extension programming. The CEC developed the Powell County Extension Community Celebration Day. The day was planned for October 21st, 2017. The CEC decided that each program area would have booths so that they could demonstrate some of their activities such as sewing, painting, and beekeeping. The CEC also asked if University specialist could be involved to show meat preparedness demonstrations. 

When the day of the event came, everyone was there to work. The celebration day was a success. Over 500 people came out to support the celebration day. Many people signed up for the different Extension groups that were available. Many people learned small skills they could take back home and work on. There were even free give aways as well.
