One way to start off 2021 would be to resolve to take advantage of free Quick Bites video programs offered monthly by the Mississippi State University Extension Service. The interactive video sessions provide access to experts on a wide variety of topics, from floral design to cooking to dealing with fire ants. The programs, currently offered over Zoom video conferencing, are held from noon-1 p.m. on designated Thursdays each month. Some limited seating is available at county Extension offices. All current COVID-19 guidelines will be observed. Sign up at your county Extension office.

Counties offices may sign up via the Zoom registration link if they plan to host a program within their office area according to the current face-to-face numbers and meeting space guidelines.
Or, counties may make the registration link available to their clients for the individual client to view the programs from their personal computers. Individuals will register for each program and will receive the program link automatically after registering.
