A Busy Two Weeks

Hello everyone! I hope that everyone’s internships are going as good as mine! I have been very busy the past two weeks! Since my last blog we have had our 8^th annual Fort Harrod Beef Festival which was a huge success.  I helped with the carnival corral, which is a fun center for kids as well as some of the grill off competition. This event took lots of planning, preparation, and setting up. Even though I was super tired on Sunday I had a blast working and helping with the festival. The kick off for the festival was the Cattle Crawl which is a progressive dinner in which we went to different restaurants in Harrodsburg.   Also during the Beef Festival we had a District Dairy Show that was also fun to attend. We spent many hours checking in the dairy cattle.

Besides the Beef Festival I have been working very hard on 4-H camp applications and our orientation,   lots and lots of paperwork.  The kids are super excited about attending camp and are looking forward to a very fun time. 

I have also been helping our FCS Agent with LEAP program at a local daycare. We have been reading stories to the students as well as preparing a healthy snack for them to try. I really like this program and think that it has helped kids try new foods that they may not eat at home. This week’s snack was a spinach salad that the kids actually loved. I was very shocked at how many students asked for more. 

These two weeks have been very busy, but I have loved every second of it. The next two weeks should be very interesting as we leave for teen conference on Monday and then Camp is the next week.
