The Knox County Natural Resource Area (KCNRA) is hosting a Trunk-or-Treat and Archery Block Party on Oct. 23, 2024. The community is welcome to attend in costume for some treats, bonfire, and monitored archery range. The event will begin at 5:30pm at the archery range right behind the Ramser 4-H Center. Youth archery equipment will be provided and all are welcome to shoot! Archers with personal equipment are encouraged to bring their own!
We are also welcoming 4-H Clubs that would like to set up a trunk or table to pass out treats! Clubs may donate treats to the Extension office prior to Oct. 22. This is a great way to recruit new members, or participate in a community service activity. Be sure to show your club pride by displaying your club name! Please RSVP to Lindsey (vangundy.44@osu.edu) by Oct 22 if your club would like a spot to pass out treats. If your club is just attending, no RSVP is needed.
Event is rain or shine.
