PRESS RELEASE:
The annual Arrowhead Day will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. this Saturday at Lowe-Volk Park.
This popular event is great for people who enjoy learning about prehistoric artifacts. Collectors will be displaying the artifacts that have been found in the fields of Crawford County as well as other nearby areas. This year’s focus will be on the Late Archaic Period, specifically Glacial Kame burials. The Ohio History Connection is once again partnering with the Crawford Park District PD to provide a display of Glacial Kame artifacts. Members of the Johnny Appleseed Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Ohio and other local collectors will also be on hand to display their collections. Come view these displays and have your questions about unidentified items answered.
Other upcoming events include:
Skunk Cabbage
Sunday, March 4 2 p.m. Galion Wetland
The Crawford Park District has a small wetland in Galion and it’s loaded with Skunk Cabbage! Being associated with our smelliest mammal may not seem like a good thing. Ask an early emerging insect and you’ll get a different answer. Join Naturalist, Josh Dyer, for this stroll through the Park District’s small bog preserve on the edge of Galion’s city limits to explore our earliest blooming wildflower. Meet at the Gill Avenue Heise Park pavilion, near the softball field.

Shamrock Shenanigans
Thursday, March 15 6 p.m. Lowe-Volk Park
Nature is glorified in many holidays and St. Patrick’s Day is one of them! Come celebrate with the Crawford Park District. Shamrocks are mostly associated with white clover or wood sorrel, but any three-leaved plant will do. Joy Etter-Link will have fun games, a craft, and a take-home activity to celebrate the shamrock and its nature connection. Celebrate St. Patty’s Day naturally! Fun for the whole family.
