Illinois Extension Educator Tessa Hobbs-Curley recently posted this article on the Family Files Blog and it is super timely right now and an important topic to explore. Tessa says: It is August 2024, and we are in the trenches of political debate for President of the United States.

We could be describing a trend in modern dieting, however, what we are talking about is the first Thanksgiving. When coloring hand-traced turkeys and making paper bag vests […]
