After more than 8 years of serving Powell County as the Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent, Kendyl Redding will be transitioning to a new role with UK Health and Wellness.

During her time with Powell County Extension, Kendyl has impacted countless individuals and families through educational programs focused on nutrition, health and wellness, financial management, sewing, youth development, and family well-being. Her dedication to the community and commitment to improving the lives of others have made a lasting impact.

Please join us in congratulating Kendyl on this exciting new opportunity and thanking her for her years of dedicated service to Powell County. If you'd like to wish her well in person, stop by the Powell County Extension Office on Monday, June 30, to say goodbye before she begins her new role.

We wish Kendyl all the best in this next chapter!

We have a great meeting scheduled on Thursday night. The Cvitkovics' have built new cattle working facilities and are kind enough to have us out to look at what works and doesn't with the new system. Burgers and dogs will be served so come hungry.

At the Kentucky Association of County Agriculture Agents (KACAA) yearly meeting at Natural Bridge State Park, Larry Young was awarded the Lay Leader Award and became an Honorary County Extension Agent. Larry's passion for bees and teaching the craft of beekeeping is unmatched. We are so proud to have him as a part of our Extension Family here in Powell County.

Congratulations on a well-deserved honor Larry.
