Food Preservation Workshop Series
The
summer growing season is almost here, a perfect time to learn the basics
of food preservation! Join us for three hands-on
food preservation workshops, where we will learn how to use different food preservation methods to make
several food items and gain valuable food preservation skills. Each
participant will learn how to make jam and jelly (Tuesday), pickles and dilly
beans (Wednesday), and canned tomatoes and salsa (Thursday). Additionally, food
safety techniques and the processes of dehydrating, freezing, hot water bath
canning, and pressure canning will be covered.
Pre-registration and pre-payment are required. Each workshop will be open to youth registrants if accompanied by a parent or grandparent.
The workshops will be held on June 28, 29, and 30, from 12:30 – 4 PM, at Cornell Cooperative Extension 377 Schroon River Road in Warrensburg, NY. There will be a fee of $10 for each workshop.

4-H PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS
4-H Public Presentations is a program in which youth learn to create a presentation and develop the skills needed to present it before an audience. This is not a competition, rather an opportunity to become a better you! You cannot fail, but you will learn, grow and develop lifelong speaking abilities that will help you now in school, home and in club/community leadership opportunities.
Beginners are encouraged to select simple topics with which they are extremely comfortable, so that the presentation process is the focus of their learning without the stress of learning about an unfamiliar topic. We encourage youth to progress and grow each year and challenge themselves with a new presentation style, use technology in their presentations and to venture into unfamiliar topics as they become more comfortable with public speaking.
Every 4-H Member, regardless of age, should take this opportunity to develop the self-confidence, poise, self-esteem and skills necessary to speak before a group.
Remember: In order for any youth to be eligible for a 4-H Scholarship for STARR, Capital Days, Career Ex, the Youth Fair Superintendent Program, or to attend the New York State Fair, you must complete a Public Presentation within the current 4-H year. Adirondack Guides are required to participate every year.
