On Wednesday, December 4, HLA Extension hosted a booth at the Showcase event during the Purdue Extension Professional Development Conference. Thanks to engaging activities such as weed identification and a hydroponics demonstration, our exhibit received positive feedback from attendees. Special thanks to Aaron Patton for providing weed samples and signage, which added great value to our booth. We also extend our gratitude to Ashley Adair, Karen Mitchell, John Orick, Lori Jolly-Brown, and Pam Fisher for their invaluable help in making our booth a success.
