Free Food, Giveaways, Demonstrations and More at UT Extension Open House

March is Extension Month in Tennessee and to celebrate, the Hardeman County UT Extension office will hold an open house on Wednesday, March 29, 2023, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Free food, giveaways, demonstrations, door prizes, and more will be available. The Extension office is located at the Agribusiness Center, 210 Vildo Road in Bolivar.

Extension is the outreach arm of the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture and the Tennessee State University College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Sciences. An integral part of the land-grant mission, Extension programs are delivered in all 95 counties in the state by subject-matter specialists, county agents and volunteers.

Example programs available through county offices include the state’s award-winning 4-H Youth Development Program including its summer youth camps; family and consumer educational programs; and healthy living courses. In keeping with the traditional view of Extension, information to assist the state’s agricultural producers and foresters is also available, and the increasingly popular courses for Master Gardeners, and gardeners in general, are also conducted through county Extension offices.
