The past two years the University of Kentucky saw the need to send two retired FCS Agents to Nicholas County to teach a Food Preservation Workshop through the summer, but not this year due to sharing the opportunity with other counties. Madison McAlmond Nicholas County FCS Agent, Kay Denniston Bourbon County FCS Agent and Benita Peoples Harrison County FCS Agent saw the need to continue these programs in their county to make sure they reach as many citizens as possible.Each agent taught a different food preservation technique which included drying, freezing, water bath canning and pressure canning. Each workshop was four hours long and were offered at different times in each county. One in the morning, afternoon and night to give everyone an equal opportunity to attend in any of the three counties. Nicholas County had eight attendees who participated in the workshop. 50% of the participants canned for the first time.100% learned the most updated procedures and standards and reported they will take the practices home and implement them in their kitchens
