Piggy Bank Contest Promotes Kentucky Saves Month

The Cooperative Extension Service, through the Kentucky Saves Program, sponsored the second annual youth piggy bank contest. Youth from across the state put their creativity to work to design unique and eye-catching piggy banks. Winners from each Extension District are currently on display in the Capitol Rotunda in Frankfort as part of the February celebration of Kentucky Saves Month.
