Radon is the second-leading cause of lung cancer and the cause of 21,000 deaths per year.  In southwest Kansas, we have high concentrations of this natural radioactive gas in our soils.

You are invited to learn more about radon on Tuesday, February 16 at 12:00 noon at the Finney County Extension Office, 501 S. 9th Street on the fairgrounds in Garden City.  Carol Ann Crouch, Scott County Exension Agent, will explain what radon is, where it comes from and what to do if you find high levels in your home.

The first five to register for this program will receive a FREE radon home test kit; others can purchase the do-it-yourself kit for $5.00.

Bring your lunch if desired; coffee, tea and dessert will be provided.  To register, call the Finney County Extension Office at 620-272-3670.
