Sunday, August 14, 2022 • 3pm • West entrance pavilion of the Walkway Over the Hudson • Presentation with Lynne Meloccaro, executive director at Dutchess County SPCA which is one of the oldest SPCAs in the US.

Research suggests that through the successful partnering of animal shelters with their communities, the number of animals entering the shelter could be reduced by over 50-percent. • More info

Hominy Workshop
Sunday, September 25, 2022 • 10am – 12:30pm • Cost: $45 • Wild Hudson Valley, 408 Lake Mills Rd, Cairo • Did you know that corn is much more nutritious if it has been nixtamalized (made into hominy)? Native people throughout the Americas have known about this process for millennia, and in the Hudson Valley, indigenous cooks would process much of their corn with lye made of water and hardwood ashes. The end product, called hulled corn or hominy, is also more flavorful because of the ashes, and is higher in vitamin B3 and in calcium. Today, Lenape people continue to process corn with the same methods in their communities in Ontario, Wisconsin and Oklahoma. We learned how to hull corn in 2015 on a visit to the Moraviantown Reserve in Ontario – a community comprised of native people whose ancestors came from throughout the Hudson and Delaware Valleys. Join us for a workshop on hominy making with our recently-harvested flour corn! Participants will be taken through the process, step by step, and get to try traditional hominy. • wildhudsonvalley.com/event-details/hominy-workshop
