With the abundance of books available for nature lovers, sometimes it's hard to choose the next great book to read (or to narrow it down). Join the Crawford Park District's Book Club, and we will figure it out together! Pre-registration is recommended as the club will be limited to 15 members. We selected A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson as our book for May. Be ready to tell us what you thought of this one and come armed with a suggestion for our next book and be ready to make your case to the club! The CPD Book Club meets on the last Tuesday of each month at 6:30PM. Living History Days May 31 – June 2 Lowe-Volk Park, 2401 State Route 598 A fun historical event in its 17th year.
