information about the expanding park system at fairs, community
celebrations, and out-lying recreation sites |
|
..sponsoring a low-cost Grand River excursion for families on the
paddle-wheeler Grand Lady |
|

within the Parks and win annual passes to the County's Lake Michigan
beaches. |

..
planning and assisting Parks staff with activities to involve children in
nature discovery |
