Springtime Skills: Two January Workshops

Jan. 18, 2025

Yes, yes, we know it’s January. But if you’re already thinking about warmer months, we found two workshops to get you in the spring state of mind. First up on Jan. 22 is the Mushroom 102 Class, presented by the Missaukee Conservation District (MCD) and Great Lakes Mushroom Company. From 6-8pm at the Missaukee District Library, learn how to grow mushrooms, including making liquid cultures and inoculating grain/wood spawn. Visit missaukeecd.org/workshops to register ($25) or call (231) 839-7193. On Jan. 23, Ethanology Distillation of Elk Rapids teams up with DNR biologist and avid fly fisher Eric Crissman for a fly tying class from 6-8:30pm. All skill levels are welcome, and materials will be provided to help you learn unique fly patterns and perfect designs. A suggested donation of $20 helps cover material costs.
