Savoring The End of Summer: A Time for HarvestBy Michelle Stizza As Summer events around Santa Fe conclude, the kids go back to school, and the weather cools, it's still a beautiful time to enjoy days with family and friends that can be centered around fresh, seasonal food and engaging activities that nourish the body and mind. When we enter into Fall, and want to savor the end of Summer, it's time to think about preserving the beautiful produce. We will be offering some pop-up food preservation classes depending on what is available and in abundance from harvest. We also have a variety of upcoming classes including Extension Get Fit, Kitchen Creations, and the Finance & Friends Book Club. For the September Book Club, we will be learning more about investing through an investment game where you have an opportunity to invest $100,000 of fake money into the stock market. Join us starting September 3rd! Thank you for participating and volunteering at the Santa Fe County Fair July 30th-August 2nd and the Santa Fe County Extension Open House! It was great to meet so many people at the Open House and the Fair was a successful showcase of your skills, a celebration of your hard work and creativity, and a way to connect with the Santa Fe community. I particularly enjoyed the 4-H fundraiser where I was able to showcase my sheep showing skills-a great time of laughter and fun for all! Enjoy the Fall! Please continue to visit our website for the most up-to-date information. We look forward to seeing you soon!
