Hi everyone,
Do you realize that after June we will be half way through the year? I don’t know where the time goes. June is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. I am offering a Brain Health Lunch and Learn this month and we will be discussing Alzheimer’s and Dementia.
Canning season will be starting soon, so bring your dial pressure canner lid in for inspection and testing. If you have any questions about canning, call me or come by the office. We have publications that cover any type of canning that you can do. We want to make sure you use education/scientific based canning practices.
This month I am excited to team up with the Estill County Farmer’s Market to offer a kid’s day. It will be held Saturday, June 22nd. Jessica Webb, NEP Assistant, and I will be there with demonstrations, games, and other activities. If schedules allow, other agents from our office may be there as well.
Check the Dates of Interest on this page for other upcoming events within the next few months.
Have a great June.
If you have any questions or program ideas, you may contact me at my e-mail judy.vaughn@uky.edu or by calling the Estill County Extension office at 606-723-4557.
