Good morning everyone! If you were planning on attending the Pressure Canning Class tomorrow (10/10 10am), please read!
Out of an abundance of caution, I’m going to postpone our Pressure Canning Class tomorrow at 10AM. While I do not believe the storm will be too bad, I am worried about water on the road and people driving in the morning. I know some are also driving from further away.

I am working on getting this rescheduled and will let you know as soon as possible! Please reach out to my cell with questions!
