Fifth graders from around Henderson County got some hands-on experience with the outdoors this week thanks to the annual Spring Rendezvous at the Fairpark Complex.
Henderson County AgriLife Extension Agent Rick Hirsch said the event is nearly two decades old.
“The Rendezvous is a great opportunity for fifth graders in Henderson County to come out and learn from the professionals regarding conservation, stewardship, water safety, gun safety, and learn about the outdoors,” he said.
Subjects include: Game wardens talking about water safety, fishing, gardening, soil conservation, archery, snakes, and BB gun safety.
Wednesday, students from Athens ISD and Athens Christian Academy were on hand. Thursday (when I was taking photos) saw students from Murchison, Eustace, Cayuga, Malakoff and Cross Roads.
