One of the mottos of the WVU Extension Service is "People in your community; knowledge at your doorstep."

The August Extension Road Show will take place Wed., Aug. 27 at 9:30 a.m at Louisa Chapel in Arnoldsburg and at 2:00 p.m. at First Baptist Church in Grantsville.

This month, the topics are Everyday Solutions and Herbal Remedies. These topics will specifically focus on options to consider when tackling cleaning, health, or other projects at home.

The Everyday Solutions session will be offered by Jamie Mullins, WVU Extension Agent, CEWD. Mullins will present on various products that can be used for cleaning up some of the toughest jobs in your home. She also hopes to provide some great Do-It-Yourself home cleaners and beauty products. She will be presenting this class at the 2014 WV CEOS Leadership and Enrichment Conference with Lisa Montgomery, WVU Extension Agent - Gilmer County.
