WINTER ASTRONOMY JAN. 9 BRISTOL The winter constellations are once again upon us. Let’s hope for clear skies! Winter is the best time for viewing constellations. The stars are brighter and the atmosphere is clearer than any other time of the year. Orion will be our pointer constellation and will show us at least a dozen other constellations. We will once again be making star charts and roasting hot dogs. Bring your telescope you received for Christmas and you will be shown how to use it. Meet at the Briar Patch Shelter at Bonneyville Mill County Park at 7 p.m. and keep looking up! FREE BAG PIPE LESSONS JAN. TO SOUTH BEND The South Bend Metropolitan Bagpipe Band is proud to announce its formation. In the tradition of pipe bands around the world, the group is offering free lessons to interested and conscientous persons age ten and over. A new class is starting Jan. 10. The new band is rooted in South Band, and is an amalgamation of all star musicians. Everyone is a first class piper or drummer, and each one a veteran of other bands. Some are solo champions and others have competed just this past summer in the World Pipe Band Championships in Glasgow, Scotland. You will be learning from the best! To sign up for the free lessons, or to hire the band for parades, weddings, memorials, or any event, call Alex at 259-8309 or e-mail at [email protected]. ANIMAL TRACKS AND SIGNS PROGRAM JAN. T 3 ELKHART On Jan. 13, join the Elkhart County Parks and Recreation Department and a Naturalist for the “Nature Nuts: Animal Tracks and Signs” program. Although many animals stay active all winter long, many of us don’t see the animals at play in the snow or in search of food. So, how do we know that they are out there? We look for things they may have left behind! Animal tracks and signs can be found anywhere, and are especially abundant in the winter time whether the ground is covered in snow, slush, or mud. Preschoolers, ages 3-5, are invited to frolic through the woods with a naturalist in search of these signs of animal life. Please dress for the weather, since we will be outside for the majority of this program. We will meet at Oxßow Haus Shelter in Oxßow County Park from 9:30-11 a.m. Parents or other adults are welcome to accompany the children. Cost is $3 per child. Please register by Jan. 9. by calling the Elkhart County Parks Office at (574) 535-6458. Space is limited to 12 children, so call today!
