Pay it Forward – Take & Bake Workshop

On Tuesday, June 19th from 5:30-7:00 PM Extension will be offering a Pay It Forward - Take & Bake Workshop for all 4-Hers.  The workshop will be held in the downstairs meeting room of the Extension Office.  Participants will prepare a main dish and a side.  They will make enough so that they can take some home to their families and have some to give away to a family/friend of their choice.  There will be a limit of 7 youth so registrations will be taken on a first come, first serve basis.  There is no cost for this workshop since we received a donation to cover all ingredients.  Snack for the evening will include samples of the prepared food.  Pre-registration is required and is due June 15th.
