Representative Tim Dukes and a representative from the town of Laurel will be at the Laurel Senior Center on Thursday, June 4 at 12:30 p.m. to have a conversation on local happenings in and around town. Refreshments will be served.

Adults 18 and up, do you have plans for a summer garden? Do you love to shop at farmers markets for great produce? If practiced properly, canning is an important, safe method of food preservation to save summer’s bounty.  

The University of Delaware Cooperative Extension is happy to present  “Canning 101” at the Laurel Public Library on Saturday, May 30 at 11 a.m. This introductory training will review the basic steps of home food preservation by water bath canning. Testing of your pressure canner gauge will also be offered at the end of the session.  Registration is required.
