Join the District for the Kooky Cooking Series held Fridays, 4-5:30 p.m., Sept. 26-Oct. 17 at Bock Neighborhood Center, 1223 W. Sharon Road. Little chefs will make chicken wraps, quesadillas, pockets of pizza, paninis, cherry crisps and more!

"This is a fun series for kids that really want to learn how to cook," said Kathleen Benson, Bock Center manager and general program supervisor. "They'll touch a number of bases including snacks, dinners and desserts. They'll even take the recipes home with them so they can recreate their favorites!"

Cost is $52 for residents and $72 for non-residents.
