The Carroll County Extension Council has been
elected by the people of the county to guide local
educational programming by partnering with
extension staff. From needs assessment through
program implementation and evaluation of outcomes,
the council represents you and your issues. We are

Serving the People of Carroll County As Iowans adjusted to life during the COVID-19 pandemic,
ISU Extension and Outreach continued to prioritize health
and safety as we delivered research-based education to the
people of Carroll County. During 2021 we focused on the
following efforts.
Showcasing 4-H at the County Fair The Carroll County Fair provided the opportunity for youth to
demonstrate what they had learned through their 4-H project
work over the past year. 182 static exhibits were judged.
There was 415 livestock entries. Several extension
workshops prepared 4-H’ers for county fair and included a
painting workshop, a Crime Scene Investigation/Federal

2021 IN CARROLL COUNTY Iowa State University Extension and Outreach connects the needs of Iowans with Iowa State research and
resources. We listen, learn, and work with the people of Carroll County for a #STRONGIOWA.
Working toward Recovery As our state works toward recovery from the
pandemic, ISU Extension and Outreach in
Carroll County has been reviving the
economy.
Supporting Iowans in reviving the Iowa
economy, Carroll County held a StoryWalk®
in Carroll and Coon Rapids. The program is
designed for families to engage in literacy
activities while getting exercise, learning
about content areas (STEM, art, social
studies), and enjoying the outdoors. The goal
was to revive the local economy by getting
families downtown, participating in a safe
activity together, and seeing what the
downtown shopping district has to offer. The
StoryWalk® took place during a time that
shopping is not usually forefront on the
public’s mind. We wanted to draw attention
to our small, local businesses to help them at
a time that they were needing to start
recovering from the effects that the
pandemic had on the economy.
Nutrition and Wellness Participants gain confidence in healthy food and cooking
practices through the Healthy and Homemade program.
ISU Extension and Outreach in Carroll County partnered
with IKM Manning Schools to deliver a Healthy and
Homemade workshop in May. The sessions provided
resources to educate participants about making healthy
meals at home on a budget. Ten adults participated in the
series, led by Human Sciences Specialist in Nutrition and
Wellness Ann Parker.
