Events continue to roll in for the University of Illinois Extension as their season of fairs and showings comes to a close. Taylor Pope, 4-H Youth Development Program Coordinator is excited to bring a range of topics and activities to area youngsters as school ramps back up.

Seats remain open for the program titled, "Exploring Nature's Canvas-Landscape Design" and appear on Wednesday, September 11th from 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This event will provide hands-on experience to those wanting to learn about shaping our outdoor spaces.

The Pumpkin Flower Arrangement class will kick off on Monday, September 26th from 5:00 to 6:30 p.m. All pumpkins and carving tools will be provided thanks to Stacey Shanks of Locust Street Flower Farm.

Registration is open for the Charcuterie Creations class where students will learn what goes into a charcuterie board, the pairings of meats, cheeses, and crackers, and the design for a beautiful finished product.

Learn about all of these programs and register for them at go.illinois.edu/cjmm.
