Program Description

Description

Celebrate Gullah Geechee culture by reading and cooking with us! We will read Okra Stew by Natalie Daise together over Zoom. Then you'll learn how to bake sweet potato cornbread muffins to share with your family!
 
The library provides ingredients which are available for pickup at the Fairfield Woods Branch Library the week of the event. Caregiver participation is required as this event requires hands-on cooking in your home kitchen.
 

For children in grades K-5. Space is limited. Registration is required and opens on Tuesday, January 20. Please only register for one of the class dates as the same class is offered two times (Tuesday, February 10 at 4:00 pm and Wednesday, February 11 at 6:00 pm).

Please email sbergstrom@fplct.org with any concerns about ingredients. All registered participants will need to pick up a bag of ingredients that will be used to complete the class’s activity. Supply pickup will begin on Tuesday, February 10th from 9am the Fairfield Woods Branch Library only (1147 Fairfield Woods Road, Fairfield, CT 06825). You will receive an e-mail with details.

This event will be hosted through Zoom, a virtual meeting service. You will need to download the Zoom app onto your Android/Apple device or the Zoom program onto your computer. About two hours before the class, participants will receive an e-mail with the event’s unique Zoom meeting ID information, which they will need to join from home.
