An annual area tradition returns Saturday with Washington County Conservation’s Halloween Hike. Their theme for this year’s event is “Tall Tale Trail.” Conservation Naturalist Megan Jorgenson spoke with KCII News about the theme and event. “This year’s theme is Native American tall tales. At each station along the trail, kids will have an opportunity to hear a story and then participate in an activity that goes along with the story. We are excited to be able to offer something to families in the area as a way to get outside and gain a better appreciation of the outdoors.”

The hike is coordinated by Washington County Conservation Board staff and will be contained to the paved trail around the Thomas Marr Mini Lake. The event lasts from 6-8 p.m. Once families have finished the trail tour they are invited into the conservation center for refreshments. This is a free, family-friendly event.
