This site is a result of the collaboration of community partners who developed a plan for community organizations, local government, businesses, and citizens to take action to become a “Healthier Taylor County” for everyone who lives in our community. This plan identifies priorities, goals, and strategies for identified areas to assist us with attaining a “healthy community." The plan will have no impact on our community unless we take an interest in the plan, take action collectively, and commit to reach the goals addressed.
Activities taking place all day including a bird walk, displays, scavenger hunt, crafts and more! Take part in indoor and outdoor presentations on birds, butterflies, wildflowers and water bugs. Make a bird feeder, learn more about identifying birds, take a night hike and hunt for frogs. There is fun for every one.
Make two laps around Lake Esadore beginning at High View Inn and ending at Picnic Point. Foods, drinks and music to follow. Timing is provided by Performance Timing. Registration fee is $20 if paid by July 4, 2012 or $25 if paid after this date. Trophies awarded to top male and female. Medals awarded to top 3 in each age group.
