There a five clubs currently in Crittenden County: After Hours, Challengers, Cooking Club, Hooks and Needles and the Quilt Club.

Each year the Homemakers award a senior with a $500 scholarship which they raise money for during the year.   Being a Homemaker is a great way to serve, lead and help those in the community. If you are interested in being a Homemaker please contact the Extension Office at 270-965-5236.
