🇺🇸🎡 Celebrating Tradition, Community & Agriculture! 🎡🇺🇸
NC State Cooperative Extension – Clay County Center was proud to participate in the 76th Annual Georgia Mountain Fair!
Our team enjoyed showcasing the important work of Cooperative Extension by setting up a Canning Table, which proudly earned 2nd Place 🥈, as well as an informational booth highlighting our local Farmers Markets. 🍅🥕🌽
This year’s fair theme, “Red, White & Blue – 250 Years,” gave us the perfect opportunity to celebrate our nation’s history, our agricultural heritage, and the wonderful communities we serve. 🇺🇸❤️💙
We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with fairgoers, share resources, and represent NC State Cooperative Extension and Clay County at this wonderful annual event! 🌱🐄🍎 |

Kitchen Gadgets: Game Changers or Drawer Fillers?
I’m sure many of you are like me and have hit the “Buy Now” button after watching a recipe reel featuring a fun little kitchen gadget. My social media algorithm has figured out that I love watching recipe videos, especially those featuring fresh Mediterranean-style salads loaded with beans, diced red onions, colorful peppers, fresh herbs, garlic and homemade dressing. They are fresh, colorful, flavorful and packed with good nutrition.
Most of my impulse kitchen purchases have been worth it. But then there are a few that are simply taking up space in a drawer, reminding me that apparently I am very easily influenced by a 30-second video!
