Hundreds of children and their families were at Jeffers Bend Environmental Center Saturday afternoon for Nature Fest.
Charles Turner of the Jeffers Bend Steering Committee says the annual event is meant to get youngsters outside and learning.
Kids could see animals, learn about birds, check out the Air Evac helicopter, paint a pumpkin and much more, but Turner says the main focus remains on nature and the environment.
It’s the second year for Nature Fest since the Pandemic shut it down in 2020 and the always-popular Christmas at the Bend is coming up in December.
