University Of Illinois Extension Offers Online Workshop: Connecting With Cultures & Continents

COLLINSVILLE - Join UofI Extension for 3 interactive online workshops, each covering a different indigenous culture. Each workshop will incorporate an engaging presentation about each culture, a cultural art/craft, and a food/drink recipe to make together.
