Knox County 4-H & Junior Fair Office Hours

| rees.139

After some discussion, Jana, Samantha, and Andrea felt that it might be helpful to you and your members to offer some office hours for anyone to drop in and ask those burning questions and for us to address any concerns that might be lurking.  We are going to hold one next week and another one the week after.

As always, please don’t ever hesitate to reach out to us at anytime.  We are here to support you.

Opportunities from the Knox County Park District

| rees.139

They wanted to pass along a resource they just put together that might help get kids outside especially those with the bird or outdoor projects.  They have created a Bird ID Checklist for the 136 specie found in Wolf Run Park.  This list can be obtained through this link https://knoxcountyparks.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/WolfRunParkBirdList2020.pdf.   The parks have definitely increased in traffic but they encourage it!  Lastly they are doing a virtual challenge with their Park Mascot, Roman the Adventurous Pug, https://knoxcountyparks.org/virtual-fun-with-roman/.
