Camp Kicks Off in Cannon County

On Friday, June 7 the UT/TSU Cannon County Extension Office hosted the first summer day camp of the year. The event, the Cannon County Art Extravaganza, allowed student to express and bring out their artistic flair. They started the day with the choice between painting an octopus or a sea turtle, most of the day was spent going back and forth to their canvas in an effort to deliver a phenomenal end product. Between drying layers, they played some “Would You Rather” beachball games and did a directed drawing of an island sun using crayons and watercolors. Thrown in, Cannon County Extension Agent Jaclyn Hare-Smith led the pizza party and ocean-themed dessert that followed. “A great time was had by all,” said Hare-Smith. “They were so proud of their artwork.” Well done, Jaclyn!
