Join the Celebration! On Thursday, May 8th, 2014 we are asking for you to join us in celebrating Extension’s 100th year anniversary at your local Clinton County Extension office from 3:30-5:30 P.M.

In 2014, we’re celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Smith-Level Act, which established the Cooperative Extension Service, a state-by-state national network of educators who extend university-based research and knowledge to the people.
