Extension News Currituck County 

Currituck County Planes and Plows is this Saturday, October 5 from 11-5:30 at 107 College Way in Barco. While it feels strange to be enjoying a fun community event while our neighbors to the west are enduring unimaginable suffering, I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to bring new items to our collection drive (see list above). We'll be working through the Cooperative Extension network as well as Operation Air Drop to get much needed items to the western part of North Carolina. If you prefer to make a monetary donation, please choose the established charity of your choice. Two that are currently on the ground in Asheville are listed above.

The day does promise to be fun and exciting with live bands, the ag olympics, equipment, inflatables, displays, vendors, food trucks and much more! Text CTUCKDAY to 888777 to receive updates. To ensure your spot at this amazing event, please register at planesandplows24.eventbrite.com.

Thanks and Farewell Olivia Patchel

NC Cooperative Extension in Currituck County announces that Olivia Patchel, our Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, has vacated her role to pursue new opportunities. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Olivia for her dedication and contributions to the Currituck community.

During her tenure, Olivia was dedicated to improving the health and wellness of Currituck citizens through nutrition education, championing food safety and promoting physical activity. She provided leadership to the Extension and Community Association, the Seniors Health Insurance Information Program Volunteers, and began Currituck’s first Extension Master Foods Volunteer Program. We are grateful for all of Olivia’s contributions and wish her well in her future endeavors.
