We enjoyed hearing the second graders from Watson Primary sing their Christmas Carols at the Madison County Court House. The ladies and gentleman from the Farmers & Charmers Extension Homemakers Club and the Savvy Sisters & Blazin Brothers Extension Homemakers Club baked cookies to serve the kids. Each child got to choose two cookies and get a cup of punch. Volunteers from both clubs served the kids and their guests. The Madison County Extension Homemakers Council enjoys bringing all our clubs together to put on this event every year.

We hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thank you to all those that came out this afternoon to the, Madison County Extension Homemakers Council's Holiday Workshop! We had a snack bar setup so everyone could snack while they crafted. The Savvy Sisters & Blazing Brothers Club, along with the Farmers & Charmers Club, had various crafting stations setup around the room. We enjoyed seeing everyone's creativity!
We had a little helper running around snapping pictures for us. Although I think he took more pictures of the snacks than the crafts!lol

How many of you have received a recipe from a family member or friend that has been passed down through the generations? This is a snippet of a recipe card from a grandmother's recipe. What is a number 303 can?

Upon googling it means it holds 2 cups. So you would need 2 cups of that ingredient to make this recipe. A 16-17oz can would be comparable to a number 303 can.

Here is a fun little fact page to keep around as a reference. It shows how many cups can roughly be found in each can size.

Speaking of cans...our canning workshop is next month! Which did you know a pint jar is basically a number 303 can? If you haven't signed up for the workshop there is still time! The workshop will be on July 19th at 10am. You just need to bring 4 pint jars and your $10.00 entry fee. When you call to rsvp you will receive more information and the location for the workshop.
