National Can-It-Forward Day

Kelsey Revens, Neighbor

Jarden Home Brands, makers of Ball® Brand home canning products, is excited to announce the third annual National Can-It-Forward Day on Saturday, August 17. A day to celebrate fresh and local ingredients, National Can-It-Forward Day teaches the joys of fresh preserving with a live, free webcast featuring canning, crafting and entertaining demonstrations on FreshPreserving.com starring Food Network’s Chopped host, Ted Allen.

This year you can participate in person as Downtown Evanston farmers’ market will be hosting their very own National Can-It-Forward Day demo on the 17th in conjunction with the webcast.

Those unable to join the Downtown Evanston market in person can tune into the webcast and participate via social media on the Ball brand Facebook and Pinterest pages, or tweet along to share their preserved creations with the hashtag #canitforward.
