Indiana DNR Special events calendar available on Web
Plan your new year around the 2009 Special Events Calendar, now posted at dnr.IN.gov and interpretiveservices.IN.gov. You’ll find information about upcoming hikes, fossil digs, holiday fireworks, reenactments, historic home tours, music in the outdoors, special autumn family weekends and more.
You don’t have to wait for spring to participate; there are events to enjoy all year, even some still left this month. On Dec. 27, Spring Mill State Park hosts a Winter Bonfire and hike, and Clifty Falls State Park hosts the National Audubon Society’s Christmas Bird Count.
Come 2009, look for the Battle of the Bulge exhibit at Fort Harrison State Park and programs throughout the month, learn how to square dance at Brown County State Park/Abe Martin Lodge on Jan. 9. February features a Maple Syrup Festival at Mansfield Mill and Eagle Watch Weekend at Turkey Run State Park and Raccoon Lake. In March there’s an Aldo Leopold bench workshop at Indiana Dunes State Park and bridge tournaments at the Canyon Inn at McCormick’s Creek State Park. No matter what the season, entertainment, adventure, relaxation and outdoor learning opportunities are available.
Many events are free with entrance gate admission. Some events include a fee to help cover the cost of materials and preparation.
