OLD FASHIONED CARAMEL CORN
Carmel Corn makes a wonderful Halloween treat and is easier to make than you might think.
Its buttery taste will hook them all in and have them begging for more! This recipe uses white sugar instead of brown to let the taste buttery come through!

INGREDIENTS
14 cups popped popcorn 2 cups sugar (packed)
1 cup butter 1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda PREPARATION
Combine the sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Once it begins to boil, stop stirring for 5 minutes, or until mixture reaches 255 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda. The mixture will start to foam, so stir well until blended.

Make your popcorn ahead of time, pop the popcorn either in a hot air popper or microwave. Once you have popped the pop-corn, remove any un-popped kernels. Now place the popcorn in a large, buttered metal bowl.
Pour the hot mixture over the pop-corn and toss gently with well buttered forks to distribute evenly

Spread onto 2 un-greased baking sheets and bake at 200 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. if it starts to look too golden it may be time to take it out!
Oven temperatures vary not only with model but with altitude, so you'll have to adjust time accordingly.

STORAGE & SERVING
Remove the caramel corm from the oven and allow to cool completely. Once cool, break it into clusters, and store in a tightly covered container. For a Halloween party, serve on a large serving tray or in decorative bowls. If you are having a child's party, wrap some up in treat bags

TWA is currently working a new project called "Protecting Riparian Zones of the Tabusintac Watershed." In other words, to maintain and/or improve land that is beside any surface water so that it can support an ecosystem that has diversity. We invite everyone to partake in this project from stakeholders (residents and users of the watershed) to industry and agriculture.

Quick reminder, we had sent out questionnaires to be filled out and returned; if you know of anyone who wishes to receive one, please feel free to contact us.

TWA is having an Annual General Meeting on October 28th at 7:00. Everyone is welcome to attend! We will be having a guest speaker from Ducks Unlimited joining us to present on wetlands and riparian zones. Also, they will speak about the nature trails that are located across the Tabusintac Legion Br. #47.

Any suggestions or ideas for upcoming projects?
For example, composting within our watershed; inventory of freshwater mussels; assessing and eradicating purple loosestrife in the watershed.
