The Great Broad River Pawpaw Hunt – Aug 31
Whether he’s pointing out poison ivy, picking up pawpaws, pontificating on possums, telling wild snake tales, or wailing out a jivey harmonica tune, Doug Elliott is known for his lively storytelling presentations as well as his broad, practical, scientific and cultural knowledge of the natural world. He will be leading a fun, educational ramble around the Broad River bottom lands at Dreaming Stone. We’ll be hoping to find ripe pawpaws. We’ll also be paying attention to the many other useful and interesting wild plants, as well as birds, insects and other critters we encounter. You will hear stories, songs, lore and natural history fact stranger than fiction.
There will be an opportunity to dunk in the river and go on a short tubing run. Swimming will be at your own risk, as there will be no lifeguards present (children must be supervised). Bring a picnic lunch is you want to linger at the river.
This event is free through the sponsoring support of Rutherfordton Food, Art & Brew’s FABricators’ Curriculum; a program designed to expand the creative knowledge base of our community. And, this will be fun for the whole family!
Please register in advance, so that we can direct you to the event location and make sure that we are all prepared for a safe and fun time!
Looking forward to this!
