Hello,
I hope everyone is doing well. The Extension Homemaker year is coming to a close and we are already preparing for next year. The Bluegrass Area FCS agents went through the ballets for Leader Lessons and we have the top eight lessons scheduled for next year.
We will have a Alpha Gal Watch Party at the Extension office on May 29th at 6:00 p.m. The University of Kentucky will be streaming the program. We will have Alpha Gal friendly food samples at the office. You can watch it from home if you like. The flyer with the information is in this newsletter. Call the office to sign up if you are interested in watching at the office.
The Estill County Farmer’s Market will be opening on Saturdays starting May 3rd from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Go out and get some fresh produce and homemade goods and support your local farmer’s market.
If you have any questions or program ideas, you may contact me at my e-mail judy.vaughn@uky.edu or by calling the Estill County Extension office at (606) 723-4557
/s/ Judy Vaughn, County Extension Agent for Family & Consumer Sciences
