Antique Appraisal Event
Have you ever wondered what your family heirlooms are worth? Join us for a thirty-minute appraising presentation followed by an appraisal of at least one item per participant. You'll be assigned a 10-minute time slot in the order you registered to have your item appraised. Once everyone has had their item valued, Certified Appraiser David Schlueter will examine additional items as time allows. Examples of items that can be appraised are antiques, fine jewelry, costume jewelry, precious gemstones, all art, and coins. This is for items you can easily carry. Please refrain from bringing firearms or Beanie Babies. Please name the one item you would like appraised on the registration form, and email photos of the item if you can, to estarke@shakopee.k12.mn.us at least one week prior to the event. Coffee and treats will be provided.

Prepare Your Own Will
Personal and Professional Growth
Who would raise your children if you died? Who will be your personal representative? Without a will, a judge can make all of the decisions. Take charge of these arrangements in this class. You will leave with a simple prepared will and have peace of mind. Instruction and all the necessary forms (including the will form), witnesses, and notaries are provided. Instructor Adam Altman is an attorney experienced in drafting wills. If you are married, please note that each of you must register separately, as you will each create your own will, even though they may be identical. Bring a pen and a valid photo ID to class.

Springtime Foraging 101
Home and Garden
Learn how to safely forage for springtime edible plants and mushrooms! You'll learn how to identify and where to find edible mushrooms and plants, as well as which ones to avoid. Edible mushrooms covered will include morel, oyster, and pheasant back. Edible plants will include stinging nettle, ramps, and fiddlehead ferns. We will begin with a discussion, followed by a walk in the woods searching for species mentioned plus any additional edible species we happen to come across. This class will take place outdoors, rain or shine, but will be cancelled for severe weather. The foraging location will be determined and emailed to you two days prior to class due to variation in growing conditions that affect mushroom availability. The location will be within 20 minutes of Shakopee, and you will be walking on uneven terrain, so please dress accordingly. Bring a basket or bag, a pocket knife, and sun and/or bug protection if you wish to use it. There is no guarantee we will find mushrooms or edible plants, but you can bring home any mushrooms you find! Handouts will be provided to assist you in future foraging.
