The IDNR Links to the Future and LTC Spring Rendezvous will once again be open to the public at Wolf Creek State Park on Lake Shelbyville in Windsor. Public events are scheduled from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 21.

Through the efforts of dedicated volunteers, the Lincoln Trails Council Boy Scouts of America serves young people with its program of citizenship, mental and physical fitness, and character development. Together with the IDNR they will host the annual outdoor youth festival.

This all-day event will feature such activities as trapshooting, target shooting, archery shooting, fishing, and wildlife displays. An encampment of frontiersmen representing the lifestyle, clothing, and trades of Rendezvous Era will be on hand, as well as exhibits and activities including rope making, blacksmiths, woodworking, and a re-creation of a Civil War camp.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
