The Cass County Conservation Board has announced some upcoming events in advance of the July 4th holiday weekend. County Naturalist Lora Schwendinger says a “Dutch Oven Cooking – Dinner” campground program will be held at Cold Springs State Park in Lewis, 7-p.m. July 2nd, at the campground shelter. During the free event, you can learn a new dinner recipe designed for a dutch over. Bring your own place settings in order to receive food samples.

And, that same day at 9-p.m., the Conservation Board will host a free “Family Movie in the Park,” at the Hitchcock Recreation Area in Lewis. Your family will enjoy a free screening of the movie “Pocahontas.” Bring your lawn chairs or blankets. If it rains, the movie will be shown inside the barn.
