National Junior Ranger Day 2009


April 25, 2009
 

In 2009, the April weather was very winter-like outside, but on Junior Ranger day there was plenty to do inside.  A good time was had by all who attended.  Of course the high point for almost everyone was the opportunity to pan for real gold.  Members of the North American Miner's Association helped kids pan for gold nuggets. The "Old Sourdough" with his assistant let kids experience sourdough bread.
