JOPLIN, Mo. – On Oct. 27, staff at the Missouri Department of Conservation’s (MDC) Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center are keeping the doors open a bit longer so people can learn about the outdoors while enjoying an autumn evening.
On that date, families looking for outdoors-oriented evening entertainment should plan to be at MDC’s “Conservation Families: Happy Fall Y’all” event at the Shoal Creek Center. The event is from 4-8 p.m. and is open to all ages. During this event, people can learn more about the outdoors through nature-themed board games and a discover table that will be located at a surprise location at the facility. There is no registration for this event, but people can learn more about this event at:
