The weekend of September 19 and 20 was loaded with lots of fun and and activities for all who visited the park. More than 225 visitors took part in the activities and programs as we celebrated the start of fall and Interstate Park’s 126th anniversary. We want to thank all the volunteers, staff, presenters, and others who made the weekend possible.
