As the calendar turns to August and school bells, Quick Bites programs offered through the Mississippi State University Extension Service once again are geared toward providing useful information on a variety to topics. These free programs offered via interactive video are held from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursdays at county Extension offices for individuals who have signed up. Sessions will also be held in Bost Conference Center, Room 409, for those who are on the MSU campus.
Floral designer Lynette McDougald is back with more creative ideas to lead off August’s programs. Other topics range from anxiety-lowering tips for parents with kids heading back to school and a mini tutorial 4-H.
