Cost: $80.00

2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the Extension and Community Association or ECA. Formerly this group was known as Home Demonstration and later Extension Homemakers. ECA is closely affiliated with the Family and Consumer Sciences (Home Economics) program of the NC Cooperative Extension Service – a program area that also celebrated its centennial two years ago. Both groups have worked together over the years to strengthen and support youth and families.

To celebrate this centennial milestone, Extension Agent Sally McNeill will lead a fun week of activities for children ages 9-12, all of which will highlight the "way things used to be".

To set the stage, participants will gather around the radio for a broadcast of "If We're Green We Grow". They will learn about the history of the NC Cooperative Extension, including the formation of tomato clubs and the development of Home Demonstration in the early part of the 1900's.

During the week children will learn how to make jelly and preserve tomatoes; bake bread and make homemade peanut butter; make "chicken scratch" samplers and learn simple stitchery; play "old timey" games and churn ice cream; have a tea party and hear stories of long ago; and lots more. The week promises to be filled with lots of interesting experiences that will help children learn about the past, appreciate the present, and embrace the future. Come and help us celebrate our 100th year anniversary. You'll be glad you did!
