Conservation Carnival at Lake Orient

Adair County Conservation invites the public to a wrap on summer fun with a Conservation Carnival 6-8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 8 at Lake Orient.

Join ACCB for an evening of games, crafts and eco-adventures. Explore fun-filled self-led stations where you’ll sort and race through a recycling relay, match mystery animal tracks, toss “bees” into flowers, fish for fun facts, test your eco smarts and get creative with nature-themed crafts. Complete each station and win a prize.

Hands on, come-and-go fun to help kids connect with conservation in exciting ways awaits attendees of this event.
