Many Folks Spent the day with the Goose Lake
Prairie Partners
in the Prairie Grove Picnic Area
September 17th, 2022
from 10 AM to 3 PM
Many brought lawn chairs and blankets and set up
in the grass.
The
Gift Shop and the
Food Shop
served Hamburgers, Brats and Hot Dogs with chips, sodas & cookies
in the North Shelter. The
Cragg Cabin
door was open.
Here you see a few photos
from the event taken by Partner Nancy Mattson.
Chris Danek, Prairie Partner's own interpreter,
explains the plants, flowers especially, and points out special areas in the
park on our wagon rides. There are four which are fit in very tightly to the
schedule. Should you be interested in a private ride at the park, call the
park number and we will see if we can do a ride on a Saturday or Sunday for
your group.
Mr. Extrodinare Tom Kaluzny served
as Cook for the occassion.
Everyone enjoyed his great sandwiches!
