Summer Programming Begins at Blue Licks!

Tall tales on Grannies Roots & Herbs

With chilly temperatures all the way around, visitors didn't let it stop them from getting out and enjoying their local state parks. The summer programming season is in full swing at Blue Licks and visitors have their choice of a variety of programming to choose from. Even with temperatures hovering in the mid 40's yesterday morning, the canoe trip went out and aside from an unexpected dip, all returned safely. Well, safely in the sense that all returned with a smile on their face, but I think my staff may have been a bit soggy the rest of the day. Visitors had the chance to place themselves in the shoes of well known frontiersman such as Daniel Boone and John Todd on our signature program Battlefield Walk. Others heard folk tales and Appalachian remedies on Grannies Roots & Herbs as they strolled along the Licking River  Savannah Loop trails. Are skills or brain games more your style? You could have joined in on Trick Shot Mini Golf or gotten a team together to compete in Nature Jeopardy last night. By the way, congratulations to team "The Indestructibles" for their late round steal for the win over "No I Don't Have a Name." It was really great to see everyone working together and having fun at the same time.

Just remember you still have time to join us for more programs. As I write this Sunday morning, the clouds are parting, the temperatures are creeping upward and we'll be programming throughout Monday afternoon. You've still got time to come out for a Battlefield Walk this afternoon, or you come out and make a new experience as we pull out all things sharp and pointy tomorrow...Don't worry, it's not at scary as it sounds.) That's right, all things sharp and pointy with International Style Archery tomorrow morning, ATL Do It! at 1pm, (an ATL ATL throwing program...Don't know what a ATL ATL is? Come on out to find out.) or Tossin' the Hawk tomorrow afternoon at 3pm. Where else can you learn how to throw a tomahawk? While we'd love for you to run right over and join in on this weekends activities, don't worry, these are just a few of the programs we'll be offering throughout the entire summer season at Blue Licks. Also, be sure and check out our special events page RIGHT HERE, (just be sure and select Blue Licks from the pull down menu and VIEW ALL) because we'll be hosting a really great murder mystery in July that's sure to be a blast.
