160 mile paddle from Mount Vernon, Ohio to Marietta, Ohio. We would like to dedicate the 2023 paddle in honor of Danville Police Officer Tom Cottrell who was killed in the line of duty January 17, 2016.
Officer Cottrell was born August 22, 1981 in Newark, Ohio. He was a 2000 graduate of Newark High School and received his degree in Criminal Justice from COTC in 2002. After graduation Officer Cottrell began his career in law enforcement. He had served in law enforcement for 13 years. Prior to joining the Danville Police Department, he had served with the Frazeysburg Police Department, Thornville Police Department, and Utica Police Department.
The paddle includes five nights of camping with stops at Terry’s Tavern in Zanesville and campgrounds along the way.

Wildflower Fairy Trail @ Infirmary Mound Park
Jun 11 @ 7:30 am – 8:30 pm
The magic returns to Infirmary Mound Park! We are so glad the fairies have migrated back to the Wildflower Trail and moved in today. They were excited to find a beautiful display of spring wildflowers waiting to greet them! Their village will be up through the month of September! And more fairies will be moving in at times over the summer! Will you find them all? This year you can also use the United Fairy Postal Service to write to the fairies. They may even write you back!
To access the trail, park at the Shelter 6 parking area. Visit the sign near the playground and grab a map or print one at home! Follow the signs and map around Mirror Lake to the start of the Fairy Trail. If Shelter 6 is full, you can park at the Shelter 5/horse gravel lot. Find the map here: https://lickingparkdistrict.com/activities/
The start of the Wildflower/Fairy Trail is about 1/4 mile from the parking area at Shelter 6. The actual Fairy Trail is a 1/4 mile loop.
The wee folk wanted us to share some Fairy Directives while visiting:
1) Please be kind to all creatures!
2) Leave No Trace! Please do not leave any glitter, trash, or plastic. These can hurt the fairy friends.
3) Please stay on trail! There are plants like poison ivy and stinging nettle in the woods in this area!
4) Please leave houses as you find them! So the next visitors can experience the magic as well.

Jun 11 @ 10:00 am – 7:00 pm

Sean Kenney’s Nature Connects Made with LEGO® Bricks, an award-winning and record-breaking exhibition that uses beautiful works of art made from simple toy blocks to explore animal endangerment, the balance of ecosystems, and mankind’s relationship with nature is coming to Kingwood Center Gardens from June 2 to September 17, 2023.  Produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Nature Connects depicts important topics that the New York artist, Sean Kenney, holds dear, from protecting an animals’ habitat to planting a garden.

Nature Connects further shows that just as LEGO pieces interconnect, everything in nature is interconnected in a delicate balance. The narratives, along with the intricate displays, also explore the importance of conservation, the balance of ecosystems, predator/prey relationships, as well as the relationships between humankind and the natural world.
