Doesn't that sound like fun?

It's happening Saturday, October 1st through Sunday, October 2nd at one of the great county parks, Rosedale Park.

There will be activities for all ages, so grab your tent and camping gear and get ready for a weekend packed with fun.

Once the sun sets the fun begins with a camp fires. I know what you're thinking...of course you'll be able to make s'mores. Hot dogs too. There's nothing like a hot dog roasted over a camp fire or some just made gooey s'mores. Yum.

There will also be organized games and nature crafts for the kids. Mercer County Naturalists will lead night hikes and before your curl up in your sleeping bag to get some sleep you'll do a little star gazing.

If you're the outdoorsy type, this is for you.

The next morning there will be a complimentary breakfast before going home.

Sounds like fun, doesn't it?
