Darke County Parks: Walkin’ in a Winter Wonderland
The park district is hosting this family event on December 1, 2018. New this year: they are asking people to preregister so that they have enough supplies. Go to http://www.darkecountyparks.org/news/ and scroll down to the Winter Wonderland section for details. They are also in need of some donations. If your club would like to help, visit https://www.signupgenius.com/go/5080b48a8a92aa4f49-2018 to see what they are requesting.
