Was there something in your childhood that you were not too fond of other than getting shots at the Doctor’s office? For me, it was going shopping with my parents.

Here are more tips for the one in every two Americans that reported experiencing musculoskeletal (MSK) pain in a recent survey.

Throughout the years the Union County Homemakers have assisted the Agents in the Extension Office.

Our native wild turkey has been in the Americas for a very long time. Fossil records show they have been around for eons and were once distributed continuously from the middle latitudes of North America to northern South America. The Aztec Indians were the first to domesticate the bird and it became an important staple to their diet. The Navajo gave up on keeping the hungry birds away from their scanty desert corn crops, and instead began to feed the turkeys and fence them in and provided a dependable source of protein and ornamental feathers.

I am familiar with the visual arts (painting, sculpture, ceramics) and the performing arts (music, dance, drama). But Culinary Arts? What exactly are ‘Culinary Arts’? Cooking? Heck, most of us can cook. Well, at least a little bit. (Popping popcorn or heating a Healthy Choice meal in the microwave do not count).

What a fabulous group of people gathered in Wilson Park for the First Annual Veterans Appreciation Family Picnic. So many veterans, families of veterans, and citizens who appreciate what our veterans mean to us showed up for comradery and good food. The barbecue was terrific and plentiful, there were more hot dogs than anyone could eat, the chicken from 33 Diner was, as always, delicious. Everyone who wanted a raffle ticket (including children) had a chance to win one of the fantastic door prizes.

Agenda

In 1972, the Extension Agent wrote this in the Report. The problems that faced Union County.

Within five to ten years the Union County Extensions Office gathered information to help the County by establishing a council to assist with the Planning Commission and other Governments on Resource Development. They gathered information to resolve problems the rural community had. They counciled the leaders with their findings. The Extension even provided a Leadership School. The results were helpful in many ways by forming the Planning Commission to solve problems.
