‘One Year & 100 Miles of Eating Locally’

October 27th, 2009 at 05:37am Jennie Pollock

That’s the title of the University of Illinois Extension presentation by Lenae Weichel and her husband, Kevin Holdmann from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 17, at the Extension office, 1925 S. Meridian Road, Rockford.

Lenae and Kevin will share their locavore experience (eating locally for a year): the what, why and how, the successes and challenges. If you’re interested in making “small changes,” RSVP at 815-986-4357 or online at http://winnebago.extension.uiuc.edu.

We’ve written about this before, in case you want to dig around the old links.
