Wood County Home and Community Education holding game day on Feb. 6

The first week in December was very eventful for Wood County Home and Community Education.
Our annual Christmas gathering was held at the Lester library in Nekoosa Wisconsin. Everyone had a fantastic time with our basket raffle being a great success. Many donations were made and all of the proceeds will go toward our scholarship fund. We had a great catered dinner followed by a bingo game and a fantastic presentation given by Hannah Wendel’s, the food-wise educator for Wood County UW extension.
Two days later, there was a no-bake treats lesson given at McMillan Memorial Library in Wisconsin Rapids by Denise Mancl and Peggy Wettstein.
We demonstrated three different treats that included lemon white chocolate truffles, no bake peanut butter bars, and puppy chow snack mix. After demonstrating the preparation of the treats, everyone got to enjoy a sample and take the recipes home to enjoy with their family.
Now that we have entered 2025, I would like to invite you to attend a game day that will be given on Feb. 6 from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the first Congregational UCC Church. The address is 311 2nd Street Wisconsin Rapids Wisconsin. No pre-registration is required. Simply show up and enjoy!
