Have a Healthy Heart

2nd Annual Soul Food Celebration

February 25, 2008

A hearty meal was the centerpiece of an event sponsored by the Calhoun County Extension office on Monday, celebrating Black History Month. The meal scrumptiously demonstrated how traditional "soul food" dishes can taste just as good as grandma's but be a bit healthier. Myrus Weaver, EFNEP Agent Assistant, organized the event which focused on recruiting participants for a healthy eating cooking school to be held later this year.

Thanks to those who helped make this program a success!

Special thanks to the Coosa Valley students for their participation!
