Revamp Your Pantry for the New Year!
Is reorganizing your pantry on your list of resolutions for the new year?
Having a clean and organized pantry can help protect your home from pests, reduce the risk of food borne illness, and help you save money.
First, start by removing everything from your pantry. Wipe down each shelf from top to bottom with hot soapy water. Rinse with clean water. You can sanitize your shelves with a kitchen disinfectant or a solution of 1 tsp of bleach to 1 quart of water. Let that air dry.
The Caldwell County Nurserymen's Association is taking applications for their 2021 scholarships. The scholarships are open to any student from Alexander, Burke Caldwell, Catawba, McDowell or Wilkes counties who will be enrolled in a horticulture program at an accredited institution in North Carolina during the 2021-2022 term.
4-H'ers are encouraged to choose a project (or projects) that interest them. These projects can be worked on individually or with groups of youth that have similar interests. While working on these projects, youth are encouraged to keep detailed records that can be submitted for awards such as 4-H record books.
