Hello!  My name is Kelly Bland and I am your new FCS/4-H agent.  I live in Owensboro with my     husband, Mike, my 3 kids, Rosemary, Geoffrey, and John, and my 2 dogs, Coal and Finley.  My        favorite things in life are food and travel, or a combination of both!  HA!  I love a good road trip or a cruise.  My favorite destinations to travel to are warm, tropical places.  (I spent my childhood in Florida, so I think saltwater and sand make up 50% of my blood. ) 

 

I am really delighted to join you all in McLean County, and am looking forward to offering programs that are fun and educational.  (I love to learn new things!)  Some upcoming programs I plan to offer are: a monthly Cooking with the Calendar, a Make Your Own Charcuterie Board class, and, in the new year, a healthy living community challenge.  If there’s something you are interested in learning more about, or if there is a certain need in the community, please feel free to reach out to me via email (kelly.bland@uky.edu), or give me a call at the office (270-273-9986).  I want to offer things that the community is craving! 

 

I look forward to meeting each of you!
