We will be holding a catered picnic at Hisey Park in Warren County, just south of Corwin. Riding the trail from the south, turn right on Corwin/Middletown Road and right again onto Middletown Road. Hisey Park is a short hop and well identified. The Park has plenty of parking for those who choose to drive.
We plan to have fun, but there is important business to attend to as well. During this meeting, we will elect board officers for the Friends of the Little Miami State Park. Do let us know if you are able to attend so the Corwin Peddler can prepare enough food. Register Now. We hope to see you May 20th!
