This Week in Region 11

This past week was busy busy busy in East Central Iowa as the Rising Star Interns were out and about throughout the community. After enjoying the longer holiday weekend Shay and Tyson got ready for the rest of the week’s camps and activities as Jenny helped out at Summer Science Discovery. On Wednesday, Shay had the opportunity to tour a local lavender farm and participate in discussions about starting in horticulture farming outside of the family. Thursday was another farm day for Shay as she traveled to Washington County to visit Iowa State’s Southeast Research and Demonstration Farm for our annual summer field day. As Jenny wrapped up Summer Science Discovery on Friday Shay and Tyson helped out with Outdoor Adventures day camp in Central City. Finally, Jenny and Shay visited the Marion Farmer’s Market where they set up a Salsa Scavenger Hunt and two different types of salsa for kids to try!
