The growing season is still getting started, and with all the unpredictable Alabama weather we've been having, there’s still plenty of time to get those vegetables in the ground.

As you plant and prepare for harvest, don’t forget to join Alabama Extension’s Grow More, Give More 250 lb Challenge, a great way to share fresh produce with your community. https://www.aces.edu/go/6066

Yesterday, we held our Water Festival for 4th-grade students in Walker County. They got to do three hands-on activities that teach them about the Water Cycle, pollution, and how it gets into our water. Then they got to build their very own aquifer and eat it afterwards.
Special thanks to our sponsors that help fund this project through grants, sponsorships, and in-kind donations: Cawaco RC&D, Walker County Farmers Federation, Coca-Cola, and Alabama Soil and Water Conservation Committee.
We would also like to thank our volunteers; without you, this event would not be possible!!!

Tuesday, we kicked off the Walker County Water Festival at Sumiton Christian.
We had a wonderful time with Ms. Short's class discussing the water cycle, pollution, and how it gets into our water. Discussed what it takes to clean it up by using filters to try to get the water clean. Then we built an aquifer that they could eat. I bet you can guess which one was their favorite.
