Rick from Hickory Creek Brewing & Supplies talked to us about home brewing and wine making!

He explained the ingredients needed for making beer. They sell supplies for beer and wine making. He estimates that there are about 50-60 home brewers in the area and 3x that amount making there own wine.

On Fridays brewers bring samples of their beer for tastings.

12 Warren Rotarian showed up early this past Saturday morning to pack food for the backpack program.  We packed about 530 in 2 hours!

Each backpack contains enough food for at least two breakfasts, two lunches, two dinners and two snacks. Depending on the type and amount of food items within the backpack, children may be provided more meals than that. The contents of a recent backpack include: a box of Tasty-oh’s cereal, beefaroni, chicken ravioli, macaroni and cheese, and a four pack of mandarin oranges.
