Sweet Salamonie Program for Preschoolers, Feb. 13-14

A program that teaches preschoolers about maple trees and syrup, and shows them how to make a related craft, is offered Feb. 13 and 14, at Salamonie Reservoir. 

The same program is being held on two days to accommodate more children. The one-and-a-half-hour program is designed for ages 2 to 5.

Advance registration of your child or grandchild for this "Sweet On You" program, which runs from 10 to 11:30 a.m., is required. There is a $2 fee per child. The property entrance fee is waived for program attendees.

Parents and caregivers are asked to stay with their child throughout. No matter the weather, the program is planned to be both indoors and outdoors, beginning at the Salamonie Interpretive Center. Participants should dress appropriately and may want to arrive early to view the exhibit area and enjoy the gift shop.

Call (260) 468-2127 or visit the Salamonie Interpretive Center, 3691 S. New Holland Road, Andrews, 46702, to register. Callers may also want to register early for future preschoolers programs, to assure a space. On March 19 and 20, "Campfire Cookin'" will be held; on April 16 and 17, "Precious Plants" will be presented.

The Salamonie Interpretive Center and gift shop is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m. This barrier-free building features exhibits, floor-to-ceiling windows in the wildlife viewing area, and staff to answer your questions. The center is located in Lost Bridge West Recreation Area on Highway 105 in western Huntington County.
