  • CSU Extension is conducting a community needs assessment to better understand the issues facing Colorado communities. This assessment will help guide Extension’s role as a community educator and partner.

    Part of this process is our community survey (available in English and Spanish). We need broad participation in the survey across all sectors of our community. Please take a few moments to complete this survey. Community Survey – Extension (colostate.edu)

If a 4-H member would like to come help us for a portion of the day, it will count towards their fundraiser requirement. We start he day bright and early at 7:00 am. See the attached brochure for more information on times.
