Mississippi County 4-H Food and Fun Cooking Camp
OSCEOLA, Ark. –
Mississippi County Extension Agents Kamella Neeley (4-H) and Pam Pruett (FCS) partnered with Arkansas Northeastern College (ANC) Department of Community Education, Northeast Arkansas Research and Extension Center (NEREC), and Big River Steel (corporate sponsor for NEREC site participants) to provide summer camps on cooking and etiquette.
Food and Fun Cooking Camps were offered in the North end of the County at Arkansas Northeastern College and in the South end at NEREC, Keiser. Participants learned basic food preparation skills, prepared several recipes each day, and received 4-H information and basic nutrition facts.
The Etiquette Essentials camp participants wrote invitations with RSVP requests and thank you notes, practiced making introductions, learned about table setting, and more. The culminating event was a formal tea including invited guests at the ANC Governor’s Ballroom.
Two Cooking Camp participants said, "I liked this class because we got to bake different things I've never tried, and I liked how you helped me learn new skills.”
One Etiquette Camp participant said, "What I liked best about the class was meeting new people and learning about manners."
