PORT ANGELES — Clallam County 4-H will offer several classes for youth this month.

Preregistration is required for both classes.

A “4-H Pickle Making Day” with instructor Betsy Wharton of Clallam Canning Company will be offered from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Aug. 7. Participants will be told where the class will be when they register, said Jenny Schmidt, 4-H program coordinator.

Participants will have the opportunity to enter the pickles they make in the Clallam County Fair.

A “4-H Floral Design Class” with the WSU Master Gardeners will be offered free from 10 a.m. to noon on Aug 10 and Aug. 15 at the Woodcock Demonstration Garden in Sequim.
