Summer Canning Classes
Would you like to learn how to can this summer? Are you an experienced canner who would like to update your skills and learn the most current USDA safe canning practices? Then the summer canning classes are for you. Each class will focus on the latest USDA recommendations, equipment and supplies. Sign up for one or more classes and take home a jar of home-canned goodies from each class.
Pre-registration is required since classes with low enrollment may be canceled and supplies will be purchased prior to the class. Cost for each class is $7.50 if registered by the deadline (or $10 for registrations after the deadline or at the door), which includes publications and supplies. All classes will begin at 9 am at the OSU Extension Service Meeting Room, 2204 Fourth Street, Tillamook. Pre-registration is recommended by Wednesday prior to the Saturday class to assure sufficient participants to hold the class. Classes with low registrations may be cancelled.
