The annual Extension Volunteer Recognition Program and Dinner of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural sciences will have a bit more political firepower in April than in some years. Jacksonville Mayor Lenny Curry will address the group April 14 in its extension auditorium.
The dinner acknowledges volunteers who have helped people though Extension programs and activities.
One of the programs IFAS handles in Northeast Florida: teaching people to take care of hens for urban farming purposes. Those with long memories will remember that a scene with backyard hens featured in one of Curry’s first television ads during his mayoral campaign.
