Bison Burger Picnic & Lawn Concert - August 24th

Hello to all our followers! Time is definitely flying by and the summer is quickly drawing to a close - it is hard to believe! With the rain in June, July and August we were not able to have the 2nd Annual Inkpaduta Canoe Race - as you know, the Little Sioux River was too high and dangerous, but we will be back in 2011. We did have the Kayak Raffle Drawing and the lucky winner was Barbara Durham, all the way from Delaware. Congratulations Barbara!

Next Tuesday, August 24th, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. is the Bison Burger Picnic and Lawn Concert featuring Dave Rowley from Spirit Lake. You won't want to miss this annual event, we'll be serving bison burgers hot off the grill, along with sides and ice cold watermelon. Bring your lawn chair for the outdoor music and visit with old and new friends!
Funds from this year will be used toward the production and purchase of an outdoor information station. This kiosk will be located on the Bison Viewing Platform and visitors will be able to use it even when the Center is closed.

CAN YOU CANOE????
If you have not yet learned how to canoe or need to brush up, here is your opportunity. The O'Brien County Conservation Board is offering an entry level experience to the canoeing world.

Learn the basics of canoeing on August 26th. The event will be held at 6:00 p.m. at Mill Creek Park (Paullina Lake). Canoes, paddles and life vests will be provided. The program is free, but space is limited. Please call us at 712-295-7200 to register or for more information.
