The Tanana District Cooperative Extension office will celebrate its new location with eight days of community classes and an April 20 open house.
The series of 20 classes will cover everything from worm composting and estate planning to crock pot cookery. Classes will be offered at 10 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., beginning April 11, at Extension’s new home, upstairs in the Fairbanks Community Food Bank building. See the full schedule linked at www.uaf.edu/ces.
The open house will run from 2-6 p.m. April 20 and will begin with a talk by Extension director Fred Schlutt about the future of Extension. Light refreshments will be provided. The entrance is at the rear of the building, at 724 27th Ave.
The district office moved in February. The leased space includes offices, a publications display area and a large classroom with videoconferencing capabilities. Extension has retained Room 154 at the University Park Building for meeting and classroom space.
All open house classes are free except for the pesticide applicator class. Space is limited, so registration is requested at 474-2450.
The Cooperative Extension Service is a nationwide education network supported by a partnership between the U.S. Department of Agriculture and land-grant universities, such as the University of Alaska Fairbanks. For more information, call the Fairbanks office at 474-1530.
