Nurturing Families in Daviess County

With funding from Daviess County Education Childhood Council, Cooperative Extension and community partners presented a Fun and Fit Family Festival. The festival engaged parents and children through local schools. One goal of the event was to educate families about opportunities to be outside and physically active during summer; seventeen vendors provided this information. A second goal was to provide information that would increase choices for more fulfilling family time. Sessions included Homework Fitness, Fast Food Wheel of Fortune, Physical Fitness, Nutrition, and Family Meals. With over 200 participants from 15 area schools and 25 volunteers, this four-hour program was deemed successful by all participants. “I didn’t know the Extension Office offered so many quality programs.”
