Top: This is the winning team of WING's Trivia Night. It was great fun for 60 or 70 participants and more helpers. Besides lots of fun for all, WING earned $600 or $700. 2nd: Here are the 3 finished cabins. They are available for single nights, weekends or more. 3rd: Because of newly built bunks, 12 people can sleep in each of three cabins. Sizeable groups can stay overnight and also use an adjacent picnic shelter. Contact Kraig McCluskie for more information. Bottom: Dan Thompson roto-tilled the southern 1/2 acre of the prairie. It was part of the process to replant that section. Be sure to check out that section in a few years. |
Top: Chorus frog. Not rare but seldom seen. Needn't be close to water except to lay eggs. This one was found during hot, dry July in south portion of prairie as it was being prepared for replanting. Middle: Wiener Roast at BTH on Sept 8. Too hot weather was gone and too cold weather hadn't come yet. Bottom: A view from the trail between the activity area and the prairie. |
