Today was Homemade for the Holidays, Elkhart County Extension Homemakers annual fall program. It just happens to be on the last day of IEHA Week so we promoted our organization to all non members. We even had some early morning coverage by WNDU TV news. The ladies and gentlemen today tasted all kinds of wonderful food, did three make and takes, bid on silent auction items, took a chance with the raffle items, and received a nice book with all recipes and instructions for all of the demonstrated items. Sherry Weaver and her committee did a fabulous job. Captions under some photos.

Hey ladies and gents! Sherry Weaver, our Elkhart County Extension Homemakers county president, was just interviewed on WNDU.

Those of you who aren’t able to come out on Saturday may want to tune in to WNDU at 8:15 and 8:45 on Saturday morning as they will be broadcasting live from Maple Hall.

It was so much fun and we had a great time laughing, crafting and snacking. Anyone can join us on the first Sunday of each month from 3-6 at the extension office.

We had a funny garden hat contest, a Master Gardener speak on container gardening, made Japanese lanterns, heard speakers from Camp Mack, played BINGO, had our own Jenn Chupp comedian extraordinaire, made pressed flower bookmarks, and had lots of great food and fellowship. A big shout out to the planning committee for a wonderful time.
