Happy October,

We will have a Homemaker’s Kick-Off on October 14th from 4:00 to 6:00 with a soup dinner. This will be held here at the Extension Office. Everyone is welcome to attend.
We will be having the Bluegrass Homemaker’s Cultural Arts Fair at the Madison County Fairgrounds on October 20th. If you won a blue ribbon during our Estill County Cultural Arts Fair, you can enter that item in the Bluegrass Cultural Arts Fair. Please let me know if you will be entering and I will get you an entry tag. We will have our Bluegrass Homemakers’ Annual Meeting on October 21st at the Madison County Fairgrounds. You must sign up before hand. The sign-up sheet is included in the newsletter and must be returned by October 5th to the office.

Homemaker's News
Estill County Homemakers-
The Extension Office hosted an Open House on Friday, September 9th. This event not only showcased Homemakers but also featured FCS, 4-H, Snap-Ed, and Agriculture/Natural Resources. Several other vendors/clubs from the community also participated in this event. Three country hams from the 4-H Country Ham Project were auctioned off to help build interest in the project. The Open House was a successful event with lots of interesting organizations.
The Not Your Mama’s homemaker group met in September and discussed the Open House. We also talked about future meeting ideas. We will be making a fall decoration during Octobers meeting on the 4th at 6 p.m. We would like for members to wear something pink to the meeting for Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The Bluegrass Area Annual meeting will be held Friday, October 21 in Madison County. We are creating a Harvest Basket for the silent auction. Any fall item will work for the basket. Please bring these items to the next meeting or drop them by the Extension Office.
