Snow or no, winter is a great time to explore outdoors. Winter reveals things usually hidden in other seasons and holds a few secrets as well.

McHenry County Conservation District will get you and your family started on your own winter adventure during "Winter Explorations" from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, at Marengo Ridge Conservation Area Shelter 1, 2411 N. Route 23, Marengo.

Stop by any time or stay for the whole three hours as we provide you and your children stations for exploring winter's wonders. Make a home for a mouse, play in the snow or leaves, look for tracks and much more. Hot chocolate will be provided.

Dress for the weather and "cool" outdoor fun. No registration is required.

For more information, call Prairieview Education Center, (815) 479-5779 or visit MCCDistrict.org.
