Extension and 4-H at Pulaski Yankees Game at Calfee Park






The Virginia Cooperative Extension – Pulaski Office and Pulaski County 4-H spent Wednesday evening, August 22, at Ag Night at Pulaski Yankees game at Calfee Park. 

Fans at the game were able to learn a bit about local agriculture and what the Pulaski Extension Office has to offer.  Bonus, was a Petting Zoo with animals from local farms of Black Hollow Dairy, Ryan and Lacie Jones, and Marsha and Kelsi Pack. The Homestead Creamery Dairy Trailer was also on-hand with their signature Holstein calf.     

Pictures here show some of our local 4-H’ers, Extension Staff, Extension Volunteers and Leadership Council Members. 
    
Many thanks to the Pulaski Yankees for including the Extension Office in this opportunity to showcase our programs.  Our gratitude as well for sponsoring a Beef Raffle and auctioning Cow Jerseys to benefit Pulaski County 4-H.
