They are accepting donations of eggs, candy, toys and money to help this project. If you would like to donate, please contact any of the board members.
The Spring into Homesteading event, sponsored by the Ridgeway Community Betterment Association, will be held on Saturday, March 28 in the Ridgeway School gym from 9 am to 3 pm. This year, they are focusing on education and teaching those skills that used to be passed down from one generation another. Demonstrations will be presented by Gwen Funk of the MU Extension Center on canning, soil testing, and gardening. Additional presentations will be on using herbs, the importance of maintaining your sewing machine machines and keeping your computer secure and out of the landfill. The Spring into Homesteading committee is working hard to secure other presenters as well. If you are interested in either demonstrating a skill that seems to have been lost to time or having a booth to have those conversations one-on-one, please contact the committee co-chairs Susie Rollheiser or Paula Scott at 660-872-6500.
