Turkey Trot Hike
NOV 26 2014 12:00 PM
Event Summary
Trot on over to the Dickinson County Nature Center and
gobble up some knowledge during the Turkey Trot hike 1 p.m. and 4 p.m.
Wednesday, Nov. 26.
Dickinson
County Conservation Board naturalists Karess Knudtson and Charles Vigdal will
lead young and old alike through Kenue Park in Okoboji to learn all about
turkeys as Thanksgiving approaches.
“We
thought it would be fun to do seasonal hikes corresponding with the holidays,”
Vigdal said. “We really like to get people outside when it’s cold so no one
gets cabin fever.”
This
will be the third year for the Turkey Trot, but this year’s event will be new
and exciting. Hikers will stop at various stations throughout Kenue Park to
learn all about turkeys, from characteristics of the animal to seeing a model
turkey nest to searching for a live turkey with calls.
The
event will end at the Dickinson County Nature Center with a craft and snack.
