The Guthrie County Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has announced some events that they’ll have for February.

On February 9th, the local Extension Office will be having a taco charcuterie board class, with the program, “Spend Smart Eat Smart.” The class will be from 5:30 to 6:30pm, and cost $20 per person. All supplies will be provided as individuals learn about tools on “Spend Smart, Eat Smart” to prepare a variety of recipes for their taco boards. Registration for the event is required by February 2nd.
