Spotlight Series: Barren County

Our continuing "Spotlight Series": Barren

Cooperative Extension Service provides a range of educational programing and activities to support the well-being of Kentuckians. One good example is Barren County where a new community auditorium, funded by Cooperative Extension, was completed in March 2008. Seating capacity is approximately 110 people (with lecture tables) to 160 (theatre). Technology with state-of-the-art audio and video equipment within the facility makes it a good environment for teaching and yet it has the flexibility to hold other Extension programming. Other amenities for community use and outreach include a large stage and demonstration kitchen. The facility will serve as an Emergency Operations Center for the community Emergency Management Agency if and when needed.
