At the recent OSU Extension Annual conference, held December 7 in Columbus, Hugh Earnhart received the “Friend of Extension” award. Earnhart, a long-time Extension Advisory Committee member, Master Gardener Volunteer, and Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist, lives in Poland and devotes much of his time to OSU Extension and the Mahoning County Extension office. The Friend of Extension award is the highest recognition that can be presented by Epsilon Sigma Phi (ESP) to a non-Extension person, business or organization and is designed to recognize truly outstanding support and involvement in Extension efforts.
