We will check your gauge pressure canners. We don't check weighted canners. Unless something happens to the weight such as a crack or a chip, they should be fine. Pressure gauges can go bad. Getting them checked once a year is good. All you have to bring in is the lid. There is no charge for getting them checked at the office. Please make an appointment.

Also check out the new turkey mural on Route 7. It is awesome!!!!! Painted by Tami Booher. Visit Tami's website!

Tourism Council Meetings are the first Tuesday of each month at 4:30 pm at the Laurel Gorge Cultural Heritage Center. Call to make sure the meetings is still scheduled, 606-738-5543.
