It’s GO Time!

This Saturday, June 12, is National Get Outdoors Day (GO Day!), a new annual event designed to encourage healthy, active outdoor fun in communities across the U.S. Locally, the Vancouver Water Resources Education Center is celebrating with Second Saturday festivities for the whole family. The theme for their free event is “Explore Your Backyard,” with activities to encourage families to experience active outdoor fun in our own backyards, neighborhoods and region. Smokey Bear and Ranger Rick will be in attendance, and activities will include a Family Fun Walk along the Columbia River and much more. You’ll be able to get up close and personal with birds of prey, ride in the Big Canoe or paddle a kayak, play disc golf, watch a Dutch over cooking demonstration, find out how to care for wooden lawn furniture and learn about the many opportunities for walking, biking and hiking around the area. There also will be an archery demonstration and bike maintenance clinic, and the Burgerville NOMAD will provide tasty eats.
