The weather continues its strange progression through winter. The slightly above average temperatures make outdoor activities seem like a more attractive idea.
The Crawford Park District is celebrating winter by offering many interesting seasonal programs as this transition period continues. Here are activities scheduled at nearby Lowe-Volk Park between now and the end of the month.
Lowe-Volk Park is located on State Route 598, just south of Leesville and about 4 miles north of Galion.
