Correction: Knox County Extension Smart Yards Event
We erred in giving TSU Extension Agent Rylan Thompson (pictured) creative credit for the TN Smart Yards & Friends event last month. Credit for the event should have gone instead to UT’s Dr. Andrea Ludwig and Smart Yards project leader Mona Yethiraj of the Knox County Master Gardener volunteers.
Last month, we erred in stating that our colleague, TSU Extension Agent Rylan Thompson of the UT-TSU Knox County Extension Office “spearheaded” the Office’s Sept. 16 TN Smart Yards & Friends event held at the University of Tennessee gardens. In hindsight, we should have made it clear that while TSU’s Thompson contributed to the event, it was UT’s Dr. Andrea Ludwig and Smart Yards project leader Mona Yethiraj of the Knox County Master Gardener volunteers who were the driving forces for the event. Our apologies Dr. Ludwig and Mona!

In October, the TSU DeKalb County Extension Office played host to the Dekalb County 4-H Chick Chain Poultry Show and Auction, which serves as the final event for its 2023 4-H Chick Chain program. Program participants brought the best three hens from their Chick Chain flock for judging at the event, which is highlighted by cash prizes for winners. A total of 45 students participated in this year’s program, which raised over $7,000 to fund this year’s prizes and next year’s Chick Chain program. TSU Extension Agent Brooklynn Gunter helped oversee the competition.
