Sound Food, a group on Bainbridge Island, Washington is sponsoring evening canning classes on August 20 and 21 from 6:30 to 8:30 to get ready for the Cans Across America event at the end of August. We’re also planning an afternoon canning demonstration on August 21 at the Town and Country Market on Bainbridge Island.
This is a great idea. We’ll get something posted on both our websites about this. I’ve also forwarded to our sister publication, Mother Earth News magazine.

There will be an informational event on canning and preserving at the River Forest Public Library meeting room, 735 Lathrop Ave., on August 29 at 3 pm.

Whether you have been canning for years, or have never canned before, please join us to share your insight and wisdom, and perhaps learn a little something.
