Icon viewers are invited to join the second annual Family & Consumer Sciences Day—the national celebration that educates families about the importance of preparing healthy meals and “dining in” together.

Families are encouraged to "Dine In" on Saturday, Dec. 3,  by preparing and eating a healthy meal together.

“Family & Consumer Sciences Day calls attention to something simple families can do to be physically, mentally, and financially healthier—prepare and eat a nutritious meal together.

We are proud to take part in this important initiative,” Jami Dellifield, OSU Extension Educator, Family and Consumer Sciences, Hardin County said.

"Families are encourages to take a photo together preparing a healthy meal and post it to social media using the hashtags: #FCSday and #healthyfamselfie.

Families are also encouraged to pin their facvorite family meal recipes to a "Dining In" Pinterest Board. During the meal, families are encouraged to turn off the technology and enjoy the company of those they are with. "
