In this hands-on session adults and toddlers or preschoolers will learn to make a fall dish. The free event will be held at the Coos Bay Public Library in the Myrtlewood Room. Oregon State University Extension Service partners with local communities to provide trusted expertise and science-based knowledge to address critical issues and help every Oregonian thrive.
