In partnership with DNR, Purdue Cooperative Extension Service is once again sponsoring its award-winning series of September venison processing workshops.
During each workshop, a deer will be skinned, butchered, and prepared in a variety of ways for participants to taste. Participants will learn about food safety and handling procedures, as well as hear an update on deer health issues. Instructors will teach participants how to safely process their own deer through a hands-on experience.
Adult registration is $10, and children are admitted free of charge. All programs are 6-9 p.m. local time.
