From Your FCS Agent

I cannot believe it’s already Au-

gust! The summer months always fly

by so much faster than the winter

months. My daughter will be starting

Kindergarten this year, so this time is

especially bittersweet for me. Sum-

mertime is my favorite time of year,

but in Extension we don’t get much

time to slow down.

This last month we passed out

over 400 Senior Farmers Market

vouchers. Don’t forget to visit our

Farmers Markets. The Grayson Market

is in the shed behind the Extension

Office. It is opened Tuesdays, Fridays,

and Saturdays 8am-1pm (or sold out).

The Olive Hill Market is in the Save a lot

parking lot. It’s opened Wednesdays

and Saturdays 8am-1pm and Monday

evenings 3pm-until sold out.

In July I started the 12 month

program “Keys to Embracing Aging” at

the Chapel and Friendship House,

taught a two day series on parenting at

the Grahn School Community Center

Family Literacy Camp, and hosted the

third annual “ Day Out With Dad” pro-

gram! I would like to thank all of the

Day Out with Dad volunteers, commu-

nity partners, and participants!

I would like to give special

thanks and recognition to the Carter

Caves and the Grayson Day Homemak-

er’s clubs for your generous donations

for 4H camp scholarships!

I have been told that Linda Bur-

ton still has some pecans left over

from the Homemaker’s fundraiser. If

you would like some, please contact

her at 286-2193.

Please feel free to contact me

any time with questions, suggestions,

or ideas! Thank you for all that you do!
