About the day

Many educational and entertaining programs will be available at different times during the day, including:

  • WVU & WVU Extension Day at the Legislature group photograph.
  • Exhibitors sharing information about Extension and WVU programs.
  • The Culture Center has interactive exhibits and displays and fun for all.

In addition, 4-H’ers, Master Gardeners, Community Educational Outreach Service members, volunteers, and other community members can:

  • tour West Virginia’s beautiful capitol building. For many of our younger guests, this may be the first time to see the Capitol up-close-and personal.
  • hear guest speakers talk about the importance of education, the impact that Extension programs had on their lives, and the importance of following your dreams.
  • connect with their legislators by setting up an appointment with them before the event.

The most important activity of the day is to visit with your senators and delegates. Other activities offered during the day are optional.

We look forward to seeing you in Charleston!
