    *Fall for All Learning Event for Families*

    Families are invited to an evening of fun learning on Thursday,
    October 8, 5 – 8 pm, Zion Lutheran Church, Mora. This 3^rd annual
    event is sponsored by University of Minnesota Extension, Kanabec
    County Master Gardeners and Kanabec County 4-H.

    Cost is $5/individual or $10/family, which includes a sandwich
    supper, 2 speakers and kid’s activities.

    Interested in learning more about establishing micro-climates in
    your backyard and extending your growing season? We are pleased to
    be hosting the leading expert in Minnesota on natural and man-made
    micro-climates for gardening. Terry Nennich is a Retired University
    of Minnesota Extension Professor from Thief River Falls. He will
    discuss ways to utilize natural micro-climates in the yard and how
    to create man-made versions for vegetables, fruits, flowers and
    shrubs. He will talk about raised beds, row covers, ways to extend
    the growing season and more.

    Cameron Feaster, Wolf Specialist from the International Wolf Center
    in Ely, MN will offer a presentation on Timber Wolf Biology and
    Ecology in Minnesota. He will discuss current management practices,
    status of the Minnesota wolf population, current rules and
    practices, wolf history. The focus of this presentation is on
    learning about the wolf and how this animal fits into Minnesota
    agriculture and our culture.

    For Kids, we have fun with wildlife skulls, pelts and tracks
    (offered by Kanabec County 4-H; fulfills a wildlife hour for 4-H
    Shooting Sports members) and Fun with Food—make a nutritious snack
    with fresh fall foods. Older youth have the option of listening to
    the speakers and participating in the discussions.
