Canton, Missouri's outdoor Farmers Market running the 1st & 3rd Weekend, April 18th - October 3rd, 8:30 am-12 pm at 400 Lewis St., Canton, MO 63457

The Mount Sterling Farmers Market began in 2017 as a grassroots effort led by community members with the goal of promoting local food access, small businesses, and community gathering, laying the foundation for the market we know today.

The Friends of Argyle Lake State Park will be hosting ‘Arts in Nature’ painting classes at Argyle Lake State Park at the park’s visitor center shelter. The November class will be held at the maintenance building unless it’s nice outside. West Prairie Elementary School art instructor, Jennifer Cordell, will share her passion for painting while instructing participants in creating a nature painting. The program fee is $20, as all materials and supplies will be provided. Locally handcrafted Amish oak frames will be available for $20 if you'd like to frame your one- of-a-kind masterpiece afterwards.

Please email Bridget.Hinchee@illinois.gov or call the park office at (309)776-3422. Registration is limited to the first 20 people. All ages welcome with parental help.

Would it surprise you to know that the story of Rapunzel happened in France? Well, it didn’t really, but our story takes you on a frivolous frolic through the French countryside. The Ogres garden in the Mushroom patch, while the Corn and Potato spies report back to Madame Gothel. Frenchy and his intense friends, the Wood Elves, do their best to help Rapunzel escape the grasp of Madame Gothel. The lost Prince, Rapunzel’s parents, and her friends, the Unicorns, try to help. Just when you think it’s safe to cross the bridge, a Troll and Three Billy Goats Gruff get in the way. Add to that the Gremlins trying to play tricks on everyone, and you have chaos! In short, Rapunzel and all the rest of the characters tell a silly tale of personal triumph and friendship.

Illinois Extension is excited to announce that CPR in Schools Training Kits are now available for community partners, schools, and organizations to borrow—thanks to the generous support of the American Heart Association. These kits provide an accessible, hands‑on way to teach life‑saving skills across Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren counties.

“CPR is a vital skill that everyone should know, and providing this training throughout Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren counties will help more people be prepared to act when it matters most.” Said Tara Heath, Extension County Director.

Each kit includes video‑led instruction and materials to train 10–20 participants in approximately 45–60 minutes, making it easy for anyone to coordinate a session—no prior CPR experience required.

Kits are available at all local Extension offices (Henderson, Knox, McDonough, and Warren Counties) and can be requested online at go.illinois.edu/CPR . A one‑week notice is requested for pickup, and with two weeks’ advance notice, additional kits can be delivered to an office location if needed. Borrowers will be asked to complete a brief demographic sheet so Illinois Extension can report community impact.

Questions may be directed to Shelby Carlson, Youth Development Educator, via email, srcarls2@illinois.edu.

These CPR kits offer a simple, effective way for local groups to build confidence, preparedness, and stronger, safer communities.
