On one day every summer you can hang out with the Ball® Fresh Preservers team of experts in a live Can It Forward Day Facebook event for new exclusive canning recipes, on-line classes and demonstrations hosted by the Ball® Fresh Preservers team of experts.
No matter where you live in the world you can celebrate Can It Forward Day right from your living-room or anywhere else you can connect to the internet.

July 31, 2017 at 9:51 amit would be nice if EVERYONE could be included in the canning day event…
but those of us who do not do face book can’t. Not everyone does face book.
Is there another way to be able to join in the fun? Hope so, if not, you may want
to consider that for the future.
thanks!
Always check out the recipes. Have found some great ones!

Let me look into this for you. I have seen other Facebook live events streaming live on Youtube at the same time as they are streaming on Facebook. I’m not sure if that will be the case with the Ball Can It Forward event but I will look into it and get back to you.
