2008 Holiday Cooking School was held Thursday, November 6, 2008, at the First Presbyterian Church of Anniston. The event was sponsored by the Calhoun County Home & Community Leaders and Calhoun County Extension.

Prudence Hilburn, local gourmet, was the featured speaker. Extension staff, CCHCL leaders and others shared recipes, tips and holiday ideas. Attendees also got to sample the delicious items. The event is one of our largest programs of the year, and this year was no exception.

Special thanks to all sponsors, presenters and volunteers.

Here are some photos from the day:
