Bibb County honored in County Walk Georgia Recognition Competition
Jan Baggarly has no problem asking people to help promote Extension programs in Bibb County. And, when she asks the right people for help, things get done. She credits her success to the Walk Georgia task force she formed to help her promote the event.
"The task force went out and promoted to the people they work with," she said. "They shared their expertise and they were instrumental in getting the information out. They put up posters all over town and we also promoted the event on the radio."
Peggy Bledsoe, Houston County, won second place Walk Georgia agent honors and Pat Stuckey, Cobb County, placed third.
