Volo Bog hosts International Bog Day activities
Volo Bog State Natural Area and Friends of Volo Bog will be celebrating International Bog Day from noon to 4:30 p.m. Sunday, July 24, with an art show and other activities.
Bog crafts for kids and guided bog tours will be held all afternoon. A donation of $5 for adults and $3 for children is requested.
Most of the 36 pieces of art on exhibit will be available by silent auction. An artist's reception from noon to 2 p.m. will be followed by music by folk/Americana trio Briar Road.
Bogs are peat-accumulating, acidic, waterlogged worlds that are home to strange plants, preserved human remains, and a myriad mythologies.
