Kids, ages 5-12, are invited to explore life in a creek. We will be searching the creek for clues of who lives there by using dip nets and hand lenses. Be prepared to get wet and muddy. Wear old clothing and water shoes, rubber boots or old gym shoes. Register by August 2 by calling 419-221-1232, or online at www.jampd.com.

'60s SURVIVORS BAND
7:00 p.m. - Saturday, August 5
The boys from the '60s are back and ready to rock and roll with the Golden Oldies. Re-learning songs that they played 50 years ago has been quite challenging, but these guys are still rockin’. Join us for a rocking and rolling good time!
