Archery

Whether for sport, food, or fun, archery is a great outdoor activity that gets us away from the hustle and gadgets of life, allowing us to focus on one thing: hitting the target. Join Crawford Park District Naturalists for an evening archery shoot that will include an introduction to archery safety and shooting basics. All equipment will be provided. Call the Park District at 419-683-9000 to register.
Rock Tumbling
Saturday, July 17 • 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Lowe-Volk Park, 2401 State Route 598
Join the Crawford Park District where you will learn about rock tumbling equipment and the process of tumbling rocks. We will start a rock tumbler with rough stone and go through all four polishing stages to create beautiful, polished rocks. Volunteer Bryan Summer will lead this rockin’ program! The first session will start the rough tumbling process; session 2 will finish with the polish tumble. A one-hour multimedia lesson will be part of this hands-on activity. Please plan on attending both sessions. Call the Crawford Park District at 419-683-9000 to register.
