Sorry my post of activities is a little late this week. I have been busy trying to keep my daughter active this week and haven't been on the computer much. I did however want to post in time to remind you of these weeks Wednesday Walk. Head to Connellsville for a tour of the Gibson House and learn a little about the library and sites in between. ! When you travel into Connellsville, take West Crawford Avenue across the bridge. Go straight through 2 stop lights and about 1/2 block later you will see a public parking lot on the right. Park in the lot. You can see the Carnegie Free Library off to your right about a block away from the parking lot. There is no parking at the library. The walk starts at the library.
But there is a lot more to do this week. I have decided that if you really want to be in shape. Ohiopyle is one of the best destinations. I am not even referring to the things you can do that are not organized. There is so much variety. You could try something new if you are a female at Ohiopyle too! Sign up for Wilderness Voyageurs Female Fly Fishing Weekend this Saturday and Sunday.
Families can enjoy the Night Hike on Friday July 20 at 8:45 PM at the park. Explore for nocturnal animals with the park naturalist. You can get more information at 724-329-0986. I, on the other hand, think that the Wild Tea Hike On Saturday, July 21. Meet at 10:30 AM at the train station to explore the park for all of the plants that have been used as Teas over the past few centuries. Don't forget you can get some great nutrients from a lot of these plants as well!
You can stick around after searching for trees
and continue your botanical education with the tree ID hike that begins at 2:00 PM on Saturday as well. You have just enough time to grab lunch between the two guided hikes. Bring a picnic to enjoy by the falls or grab some of the great healthy choices that the restaurants in Ohiopyle offer.
Go back on Sunday July 22 and meet at the Meadow Run Parking Lot at 2:00 and explore the Cascades. Check out these waterfalls and maybe you can enjoy the natural waterslides to cool off when you are done!
Another big health related event that can help the entire community is being held at the Uniontown Mall on Friday July 20. The Fayette Chamber of Commerce is
sponsoring a Blood Drive from 12PM-6PM at the Uniontown Mall. While this event may not help improve your life, it may help you to save another.
Keep in mind the farmer's markets are still in full swing! Look back at my previous posts for the days and times. Hope you find something to enjoy and keep you active this week!
