From the Organizer
Join family, friends, and the Vigo County Public Library for an exciting Dino Dash!
Come dressed up as your favorite dinosaur, dino-wrangler, or chaotician (we’re looking at you, Dr. Malcolm) for a morning at Maple Avenue Nature Park. Choose between one lap or five laps, then run, walk, or stomp around Maple Avenue Lake while avoiding dinosaur attacks from the sidelines. When you’ve completed your laps, pick out a tiny dinosaur as your prize for participating! Complimentary water will be supplied.
Everyone is welcome, whether you want to participate, watch the action, or listen to DJ Danny Wayne and enjoy refreshments from local food vendors on-site. Parking will be available across the street at Ouabache Elementary School’s front and back parking lots.
