Family Night Out: Movie Night
|
|
|
|
|
| In this session of Family Night Out, we offer a community movie night where folks will make healthy movie snacks and watch a movie. The movie will have a connection to agriculture, and you'll have the opportunity to discuss some of those connections with local Extension Agents. You'll also get a chance to see how NC Cooperative Extension's resources can improve your and your
family's lives.
We also invite you to participate in our NC Cooperative Extension Food Drive by bringing at least 2 canned goods per family. In November, we will collect all donated goods and donate them to Out of the Garden Project.
