Class details:
• 6 p.m. Thursday, April 13: Blooms and Blossoms at the Lodge Kitchen – Spring wildflowers and trees are in bloom and are looking beautiful. But did you know that in addition to looking pretty, most of these flowers are edible and can even be used to make jelly? Let’s make a hug salad for supper straight from the front yard and use some of those pretty flowers to make some tasty cookies for dessert.

We’ll learn kayaking basics and some Current River State Park history while paddling around the lower lake and hopefully seeing some wildlife. Bring a snack and a life jacket if you have one. Life jackets will be provided for those who don’t have one. This class is limited to 10 participants.
