The annual Log Cabin Day Festival kicks off National Wildlife Refuge Week at Muscatatuck National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday.
Held at the Myers Cabin, the event features a free ham and bean dinner, old-time crafts, music, a blacksmith, a storyteller, wildlife exhibits, quilts, and lots of kid-friendly activities.
The event will start at 10 a.m. and food will be served from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., or when it runs out. There is no cost to attend the festival which is sponsored by the Muscatatuck Wildlife Society.
Oct. 13-19 is National Wildlife Refuge Week – a time to explore and celebrate National Wildlife Refuges. In this area, there are two National Wildlife Refuges fairly close together – Muscatatuck in Jackson, Jennings and Monroe counties, and Big Oaks in Jennings, Ripley and Jefferson counties.
