Upcoming activities at MG State Park

Wild Days are sched­uled for Tues­day and Wednes­day August 7 and 8 at the Mt. Gilead State Park. Youth ages 6–12 will have four ses­sions in nature with envi­ron­men­tal edu­ca­tors from 9:30 to 11:30 AM,. Preschool­ers will meet with this Nat­u­ral­ist in a sep­a­rate ses­sion in Shel­ter #1 and they will be catch­ing and look­ing at insects.

The Har­mony Chapel UMW will be hold­ing a pic­nic and pro­gram at the park on Wednes­day evening.

New Nat­u­ral­ist, Terri McFar­land joined the staff at Mt. Gilead this week and she will be tak­ing over sev­eral sched­uled pro­grams and will be ready to ini­ti­ate other activ­i­ties. She has been con­duct­ing day camps at the park for the last three years. Her first offi­cial out­ing was to the Ohio State Fair on Thurs­day. The Nat­u­ral­ists spent the day in the cabin of the Nat­ural Resources Area and espe­cially enjoyed being vis­ited by sev­eral Mor­row County 4-H fam­i­lies that had come for their com­pe­ti­tion in the youth building.

The Vol­un­teers in Parks hosted two break­fasts and Ped­dlers in the Park this week­end and it was well attended. With food , enter­tain­ment and a square dance, this has turned into another fes­ti­val. Their next sched­uled coun­try break­fasts will be Labor Day weekend.

August brings thoughts of school start­ing and the Nat­u­ral­ists will be set­ting up a dis­play at the Tomor­row School Open House on August 22.
