During the 125th Celebration of Henderson, the goal is to Honor the Past, Celebrate the Present and Explore the Future. Ethnic Food Demonstrations are being each month as a way to celebrate the food that is unique to the community of Henderson.
During March the mission was to learn how to make Ham and Noodles.  Participants learned how to make ham and noodles from scratch under the direction of Sheila Huebert at Dutch Kitchen. The various steps needed to make gravy, cook the noodles and then bake the mixture were demonstrated during the class. At the end of the class everyone was able to taste the finished product.
These food demonstrations will continue each month during 2012. Demonstrations will be held one Saturday each month in the Heartland Community Schools Family Consumer Science Room at 10:00 a.m.
The schedule for the year is as follows: April 28, Zwieback; May 5, Verenika & Ham Gravy; June 16, Rull Kuchen; July 28, Green Bean Soup; August 18, Priescha; September, Russian Pancakes; October 13, Schnetya; November 25, Peppernuts; December 29, New Year’s Cookies.
These hands-on demonstrations cost $15 per person. Included in this cost is the cost of ingredient needed to hold the class and the instruction. In addition, participating individual will receive the recipe used for the class, a taste test of the food prepared and any extra food that was made during the class.
Space for this event is limited to 20 people. Tickets can be purchased ahead of time at the Henderson Chamber Office, at www.HendersonNE.com in the Q125 Store or on the day of the demonstration if space is available. For more information or to order your tickets, contact the Henderson Chamber at (402) 723-4228 or email hchamber@mainstaycomm.net.
