Are you interested in learning more about backyard poultry? If so, plan to attend Wednesday, May 29th at the Gibson Grange Hall, State Route 92 in Gelatt for a Backyard Poultry Production Workshop. The workshop will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. There is a fee for the workshop.
Ed Pruss, Extension Educator from Penn State Extension in Wayne County, will be presenting the program. Whether for home use, supplemental income, or pure enjoyment, many people have a renewed interest in raising poultry at home on a small scale. This workshop is designed for the novice; it will give you the basic information needed to begin raising poultry for egg production or meat bird production. Mr. Pruss will highlight the various breeds, housing and feeding, lighting requirements, and regulations concerning selling eggs from home.
Pre-registration is requested by calling Penn State Cooperative Extension at 1-855-394-7534 (toll free) by May 24th.

If you are considering getting your GED, the equivalent of a high school diploma, or need to finish the process, now is the time to act! The current version of the test will expire at the end of 2013 along with any incomplete test scores.
Beginning in 2014, the GED will be in line with recently adopted national and state standards. The test will be offered solely on computer, and only at official testing centers. Right now, it is unclear if any of those centers will be located in Susquehanna County.
If you need help preparing for the GED, the Susquehanna County Literacy Program provides free services such as tutoring, information and guidance. Get started today! Contact the Susquehanna County Literacy program by calling (570) 465-2880, or check out our website at www.scliteracy.org. You can also find us on facebook!
