This month's events are fairly light. Much local food is out of season and it isn't exactly gardening weather. I have even taken the month off from Kids Cook classes to focus on the Baying Hound store and my OEFFA presentation. I will resume in February with extended age groups. In the meantime, be inspired by one of these events:
