Learn about skunks at Oxßow Park

ELKHART On Tuesday. Jan. 7, join the Elkhart County Parks and Recreation Department and a naturalist for "The Stink on Skunks" program. They are black and white, they love to visit yards in search of grubs, and they have the amazing ability to tell everyone that they have been there for miles around.

pair of Shakespearean sportscasters doing a play-by-play of Pistons/Spurs game, and so on. In FISH-EYES, Ted & Lee have created a truly unique experience for their viewers, a humorous and very human look at the Gospel stories through the eyes of Peter and Andrew. These two fishermen brothers attempt, with little initial success, to understand this mysterious and wonderful man, Jesus. While they find there is “something about him,” they have no idea what it is this little, "club, or group," is going to do. From their attempts at illustrating the parables using salt and pepper shakers, catsup bottles, and flatware; to skeptically going out into the audience to inquire if “anyone happened to bring any bread, fish, bagels, croutons or Cheerios with them," Ted and Lee illustrate the small steps the disciples’ understanding took.

Who are they? They are the common skunk. Don't miss this rare and unique opportunity to leam the real facts about skunks and their behavior from a woman who lives with them day in and day out. Irene Miller will be visiting for an exciting time of sharing, stories, and hands-on time with her skunk, Odora.
