First time taking a canning class and it was great! Very informative and a lot of fun! Class went over time a bit and never felt rushed or hurried. Can't wait to start canning!!! Didn't think we would be eating so much but everything was great and nice to be able to sample. Next stop is Canning 101!! Would definitely recommend!. Thanks again! Ken & Maureen
