Extension offers classes

MSU Extension in Sanders County is picking up its Lunch and Learn brown bag series this month. All classes are free and held at the state office building just east of Thompson Falls.

Classes are noon to 1 p.m. on Fridays. Jeanette Allday with MSU Extension in Sanders County said participants are welcome to bring their own lunch and join in learning about various topics.

Allday said the classes are taught by community members, Extension agents and specialists from Montana State University. She said that the 2019 series was created based off of feedback from community members about what types of content they would like to see.

The classes this year will include:

Jan. 18: Basic Tree Care

Feb. 8: Spinning: How to Create Usable Yarn from a Variety of Fibers

March 8: Well Testing

April 26: Invasive Weeds

May 17: Skin Cancer: Awareness and Prevention

June 21: Houseplant Basics
