Holiday cookie baking is already being planned by approximately 40 cooks across the Sedalia area for the eighth annual Melita Day Child Development Center Cookie Walk at State Fair Community College on Dec. 1.
Formerly known as the Melita Day Nursery, the center is a nonprofit day care and pre-school that has been open since 1910 and moved to the SFCC campus in 1996. Melita is a United Way Agency and partners with the Early Head Start.
