This was a great training on strengthening our County Fairs.

A big thank you to Ian Hill for leading the You Make THE Difference event! We learned so much about ways we can help revive county fairs and strengthen our Extension programming in our communities.

It was a great opportunity to learn, share ideas, and connect with others who are passionate about making a difference. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to a great evening of learning!
