Gather the kids and join us for a special morning at our home in the woods! We are excited to host a read-aloud session featuring the heartwarming book, "If You Find a Fawn" by Kelly Jordan.

It’s a wonderful opportunity for young nature lovers to learn about the wildlife in our own backyard through a captivating story and beautiful illustrations. After the reading, stick around for coloring and to enjoy the trails and the natural beauty of the park! This is a free event but a state park sticker is required for entrance to the park.
