FINDLAY--Since children will have a day off from school on Martin Luther King, Jr Day, January 16, it could be a great time for them to visit a park, hike a trail, and look for animals.

Litzenberg Memorial Woods, Gatehouse. 1:00 p.m.
Families with children ages 5 and up. Free; registration is not required.
