Then, turn it in at the Palisades Picnic Shleter to draw your very own poker hand. Over $750 in prizes! After this event, there will be a presentation on our park expansion as well as an open house with a food truck!

At 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, meet us at the Palisades Picnic Shelter to find out more about birds and the things they like to eat. Then, you will create your very own bird feeder to take home!
