Chicks Dig Birds
“Cheep! Cheep!” Chicks Dig Birds will be held at 6 p.m. on April 19 at Lowe-Volk Park. Come celebrate spring with the Crawford Park District. Spring is a time for birds to build nests and raise their chicks. Some chicks are born featherless and helpless, while others may be born with feathers and ready to run or swim looking for their own food. We will have fun chick activities and special visitors for this program about bird chicks. It’s fun for the whole family.
Our Exceptional Earth
We live on a truly extraordinary planet, and what better time to learn about it than the day after Earth Day! Join the Crawford Park District’s Mandi Fruth to learn some astounding facts and secrets about our unique and balanced planet during Our Exceptional Earth at 6 p.m. on Monday, April 23, at Lowe-Volk Park. The earth’s systems all work together to create the ideal climate, atmosphere, and ecosystem for all forms of life. We will read a fun book, make a craft to hang in your window and take a hike to enjoy some of the benefits our Earth provides. This event is for children aged three to 10.
