Hardin County Extension Office invites community to learn more at Porch Party events

The Hardin County Cooperative Extension Service invites the community to come learn more about what the Extension Office has to offer during their summer Porch Parties, the first of which will be held next week.

“Last year, this idea kind of came to fruition,” said Hardin County Extension Family and Consumer Science Program Assistant Cassie Richardson. “I just want to bring people out to our office to kind of learn what we do, and so we have four total days and they’re going to spotlight one of the core program areas in our office.”

All are welcome to attend each event.

“They are fun days,” said Richardson. “They’re free days, and everybody can come out. We have tables set up with hands-on activities for both youth and adults. We will have food trucks available. The first one is actually from our Cattleman’s Association that meets here at our office.”

The porch parties will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June 2, 16, and 30, and on July 14.

“The theme of the very first one is actually “Udderly Amazing Agriculture’, so it’s going to be all about Ag,” Richardson said. “Our second one is about our horticulture, then we have our 4-H Day and we have our FCS day.”

The extension office is located at 111 Opportunity Way in Elizabethtown. Visit the Hardin County Cooperative Extension Service Facebook page for more information.
