Kids are invited to come out to the annual Youth Outdoor Day at Sharon Bluffs State Park on Saturday, Oct. 3. The event will be held (rain or shine) from 8:30 a.m. until noon. This event is a great way to learn hands-on about the outdoors. The entire day is free and each child will receive instruction in a variety of outdoor skills, a lunch and door prizes (courtesy of local conservation organizations).
Instructors and volunteers will be providing safe, educational experiences for children of all ages in the areas of archery, fishing, shooting .22 rifles and more. The event is supported and sponsored by the local chapters of Pheasants Forever, National Wild Turkey Federation, Southern Iowa Whitetails and the Appanoose County Conservation Board.
The event check-in will begin at 8 a.m. Pre-registrations and more volunteers are appreciated. To sign up, please call (641) 895-1775 or e-mail accbnaturalist@iowatelecom.net.
