Family & Consumer Science
From Your FCS Agent
It is now October and my favorite month of the year! Leavings changing colors, children trick or treating, my birthday, and pumpkin scented candles are a few of my favorite things about October!
During September, I met with several homemaker clubs. I went to Lewis County to judge their county cultural arts contest. I held the first Make It, Take It, Try It class where we made wine glass pumpkin candle holders and tasted a Plate It Up! Kentucky Proud recipe. In partnership with the Mason County Public Library, we held a class for children on Cooking the Books. I attended and taught a lesson at Skills Day in Fleming County where we also judged the area cultural arts contest. I have been planning Truth and Consequences for October 18th and 25th. Please let me know if you’re interested in volunteering. I went to the senior center and taught a lesson on the importance of laughing and being happy. Cooking Through the Calendar was held later this month, but we prepared and sampled thyme roasted carrots.
