Feeding Day
Monday, July 22, at 5 p.m. at Lowe-Volk Park.
The animals of the Crawford Park District that reside in the Nature Center get a variety of food. Some prefer worms or mice, while others gobble up leafy greens and vegetables. Stop by to help Lisa feed some of our animal ambassadors.
Archery
Thursday, July 25, from 5-7 p.m. at Lowe-Volk Park.
Whether for sport, food, or fun, archery is a great outdoor activity that gets us away from the hustle and gadgets of life, allowing us to focus on one thing: hitting the target. Join the Crawford Park District for an archery shoot that will include an introduction to archery safety and shooting basics. All equipment will be provided. Call the Crawford Park District at 419-683-9000 to register.
