On Wednesday, July 17 at 11 am, the Old Forge Library will host a SNAP-ED Cooking Workshop for Kids. Come learn an easy, healthy recipe with our friends at SNAP-ED and the Cornell Cooperative Extension.

SNAP-ED, known as Eat Smart in New York (ESNY), is administered by a network of program providers including Cornell Cooperative Extension.

ESNY provides nutritional educational materials and sponsors education events and classes in local communities on a variety of nutritional topics. Workshops for kids – because it’s never too early to learn! – may focus on healthy meals and basic cooking and food safety skills. The goals of the Eat Smart New York program are to eat more fruits and vegetables, drink less sugar sweetened beverages and exercise more to balance calories eaten as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Library programs are always free.

Please register by calling the library at 315-369-6008 or emailing oldforge@midyork.org. A full schedule of summer programs is available at their website at oldforgelibrary.org.
