I can\u2019t believe the summer is over. As I finish up my internship with OSU Extension in Klamath County, I reflect and see that it&#8217;s been an amazing experience. The people I have been able to work with and learn from have been so special to me. I\u2019m going to miss coming and working with them. Also, the work I have been doing has been fulfilling, to see project ideas like the art calendar come to life or the special event ideas for the Klamath County Farmers Market. Something memorable about my summer internship has been learning all about how OSU Extension works, from people bringing bugs into the front office to being at the fair. I also got to help with Produce Connection, which is such an incredible program.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1221\" class=\"wp-caption thumbnail alignleft\" style=\"width: 225px;\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1221\" src=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3908\/files\/2023\/08\/Bloom-Picture-12-225x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3908\/files\/2023\/08\/Bloom-Picture-12-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3908\/files\/2023\/08\/Bloom-Picture-12-769x1024.jpeg 769w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3908\/files\/2023\/08\/Bloom-Picture-12-768x1023.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3908\/files\/2023\/08\/Bloom-Picture-12-1153x1536.jpeg 1153w, https:\/\/osu-wams-blogs-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com\/blogs.dir\/3908\/files\/2023\/08\/Bloom-Picture-12.jpeg 1501w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/>\n    <figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Customer location dot survey.<br \/>Photo credit: Madelyn Bloom<\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n<p>By far my favorite project which I worked on and was able to lead was reaching out to different community members and organizations inviting them to come and have a booth at the farmers market. I was able to find a special event for every Saturday of the market which helped boost attendance at the market. The market is so special. If you ever find yourself in Klamath Falls in the summer make sure to stop by.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to thank everyone in the Extension office in Klamath County for making my summer experience amazing. I would also like to thank the Klamath County Farmers Market for showing me so many cool and interesting ways of how farmers markets work. I would highly recommend the OSU Extension internship to any students who are looking for an internship. Thank you so much for a great summer.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi everyone, it&#8217;s Madelyn Bloom again. I can\u2019t believe the summer is over.
