BISON BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

Activity Center, Middle Fork River Forest Preserve, 1-3 p.m.

Did you know that a nearly 400-year-old bison skull was discovered on CCFPD property a few years ago?! Head to the Middle Fork River Forest Preserve for an interactive bison birthday celebration and learn all about these amazing creatures.

The program will kick off with a short presentation on bison zooarchaeology at 1:00. Then, participate in engaging activities where you can see the bison skull in person, learn what makes these animals so special, retrace the path of bison on a walk to the Middle Fork River, speak with experts about recent discoveries, and much more! At 2:15 p.m., be sure to join in singing happy birthday to our new, but very old, friend! Light refreshments will be provided.

FREE. All ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult. For more info: (217) 586-2612 or pcain@ccfpd.org.

Please remember that events may be canceled or rescheduled last minute due to unpredictable weather or other factors. We encourage you to reach out to event organizers before heading out to an event to verify it is still happening.
