It is safe and economical and requires very little equipment. Join instructor Ann Holsinger as she demonstrates the three most common food preservation methods used today: pressure canning, hot bath canning and freezing. Registration deadline: Feb 16. Fee: $23 per person.Chair Seat Caning, Wednesdays, Feb 24 – March 24, 5:30 – 6:30 pm
Is your old cane chair in need of repair? If the legs are still sturdy and the back is okay, you don’t need to throw it away. We’ll show you how to replace the old seat with a new woven pattern. Caning should be the last step in re-doing the chair. Painting or varnishing should be done in advance, if needed, and your chair must be stripped of cane and have holes around the seat area. A list of required tools and supplies will be provided when you register. For more information, please call the Recovery Room at 426-5010 and ask for Larry. No experience is necessary.
