        Got Grubs?

        posted May 6, 2013, 3:34 AM by Calendar Manager

        If you have those huge grubs in your compost or yard, Molly could use as many as you can spare for children’s programs and camps this summer.  They are a great example when learning lifecycles. Please bring them by the Extension Office at 3355 Cherry Ridge, room 212, if you have extras to spare!
