My Pal & Me

May 20, 2023: Where Does Your Food Come From?

Children and their Pals (parent, grandparent, adult sibling or guardian) will learn more about where our food comes from. Participants will learn there is more to putting food on the table than going to the store. Then with help from the Penn State Master Gardeners of Warren County they will plant some vegetable seeds which they will take home to watch grow. This event will be from 10:00 am – 11:00 am.

June 13 & 17, 2023: Bobbers and Buddies

Children and their Pals (parent, grandparent, adult sibling or guardian) are invited for some catch and release fishing at the Hatch Run Conservation District Pond. Fishing will be at 9:00 am. Come learn how to fish from local fishermen.
