Dan Fager will join us for campfire cooking demo at 12:00! He’s a retired teacher, army reserve officer, and beekeeper who’s joining us for a second time at Dodge Preserve! Besides whipping up some great dishes over a campfire, we will also have s’mores for the kiddos and adults! Other activities: examining/catching some water critters, hike the marked trails and more! Activities start at the cabin as well as a tent, chairs, and portable toilets set up. We will also have transportation available for access from the road to the cabin. The easiest way to get to the Preserve is taking Highway T North (just East of Whitelaw) about ½ mile, turn Left on San Road, then take next Right onto Preston Road. Travel on this until you see Dodge Preserve sign on the Right just before a large curve. If you want to join in our river exploration, bring sandals or rainboots to get wet!
