Our local WSU Food Safety Advisor leads the workshop and gives live demonstrations and instruction on canning fruit, pickles, meat, and vegetables. Participants are encouraged to bring their pressure canner lids to the workshops for gauge testing and to check lid ring for wear & tear.
You can stop by our Republic office anytime and bring your pressure canner lid to be tested free of charge.
4-H "Souper" Saturday Great Success!
| 4-H "Souper" Saturday was held March 21, 2009 in Keller. This free event was open to all 4-H members, leaders, parents and non-4-H youth accompanied by a parent or guardian. The participants came out and celebrated March as National Nutrition Month. The 4-H youth and community adult members made Powwow Soup and No-Fry Frybread with Judy Moses, Family and Consumer Sciences Educator on the Colville Reservation. This made a great lunch for all and everyone even asked for the recipe so they could make it at home. |

Other activities included sewing hot pads with Okanogan County 4-H Agent Ann Fagerlie. We hear these will make great Mother's Day gifts! Colville Reservation 4-H Leaders Karen Neal and Dolly Brudevold taught a class on making model tipis.
