DISCOVER! | JANUARY 7, 2017 Events | 5 KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER Exploring Winter’s Wonders Dickinson County Nature Center hosts Nature Tots program Jan. 11 At a Glance: WHAT: Nature Tots WHERE: Dickinson County Nature Center, 2279 170th St., Okoboji, IA WHEN: Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. COST: Free CONTACT: 712-336-6352 ONLINE: dickinsoncountyconservationboard.com The holiday season may be over, but there is still plenty to enjoy about the winter season. The joys of winter are many and the Dickinson County Nature Center is ready to share some of the fun with some nature lovers of a young age. On Wednesday, Jan. 11, the nature center is kicking off its Nature Tots programs for the new year. “Nature Tots is a program for toddlers ages 2-5 and their parents or guardians. The goal is to get kids excited about the outdoors and to encourage them to ask questions,” said Kiley Roth, the community relations coordinator at the nature center. “With children this age, our naturalists cannot pass on all of their extensive environmental knowledge, but they can help foster an appreciation for nature in kids and get them excited to head outside on a daily basis.” The Nature Tots program meets the second Wednesday every month and offers two sessions, the first in the morning at 10:30 a.m. and an afternoon session at 1:30 p.m. Each session is capped at 25 children, so parents or guardians are encouraged to call and register their children early. The first Nature Tots of the year will celebrate the season and has been titled, “Wintertime Walk.” “We will focus on snow and how animals survive through the winter,” said naturalist Charles Vigdal. The tots and their guardians will hear a story about how different animals make it through the Iowa winter. After the story, the kids will make snow art and will go on a prairie hike. “Dress for the weather, because we will be going outside. Wintertime is a really great time to see wildlife, because a lot of animals are moving around trying to find food. It’s also easier to see them on the white backdrop, and you can see their paw prints in the snow,” Vigdal said. “We will find evidence of animals and see other winter patterns in nature. I put some apples outside and animals have been eating them, so we’ll look for other signs of animals in nature.” Each Nature Tots program lasts about 45 minutes to an hour and features a lesson, outdoor time and a craft. Last year’s Nature Tots programs were very successful, but many of the staff particularly enjoyed one session, Get Muddy. “Parents were encouraged to dress their children in old clothes, and we went to the Nature Playscape to make mud pies, search for worms and paint with colored mud. Kids were streaked with dirt, peeled off their shoes to squish their toes in the mud and just beamed,” Roth said. “It was so much fun to see kids loving the simplicity of getting dirty. So often we overthink what it takes to entertain children. They had a wonderful time just being allowed to explore the world in any way they wanted that day.” And, for the team at the nature center, it doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, they want to encourage people of all ages to explore and enjoy nature. “Our goal for Nature Tots is always just to get kids excited about the environment,” Roth said. “If they have fun hiking, learning about animals and playing outside when they are kids, then they will have a passion for the outdoors when they are adults and hopefully make a difference in the conservation world.” F KATE HARLOW | STAFF WRITER Music & wine Round Lake Vineyards and Winery has quite a day on tap for Sunday, Jan. 15. They’ll be hosting a series of tank tastings and they’ll also have Okobojifavorite Chad Elliott on the mic. Elliott will be performing in the afternoon in a concert that will be completely free to the public. “People can come and enjoy a glass of wine, a bottle of water or a beer and listen to Chad play,” said Heidi Petersen, an account manager with Round Lake Vineyards and Winery. “We love having him and it’s always an exciting time when he comes. We have him booked for the summer as well.” People are welcome to come and listen to Elliott play for the entire afternoon or they can attend one of the tank tastings before or after enjoying some good music. The tank tastings will take place at 3, 5 and 7 p.m. Each time slot has 20 spots available, but people need to register ahead of time to make sure their spot is saved. Reservations must be made by Jan. 12. The tank tasting is a special winery event that will be lead by Round Lake Chad Elliott on tap for Tank Tasting at Round Lake Vineyards and Winery owners Scott and Jenny Ellenbecker. “At the tank tasting you’ll actually be able to sample wine right from the tank and you will also get to taste the wine out of the bottle,” Petersen said. “We’ll also have some food available — some appetizers to help cleanse the palette between the tastings.” This event will feature all white wine as that is the wine that is made in the tanks. Another event, a barrel tasting, will be held later featuring the winery’s red wine. The tank tasting will be a great opportunity to learn more about wine and the entire winemaking process. “Scott and Jenny will be the ones running the event. They have been involved with every step of the process from growing the grapes, harvesting and through the process to bottling,” said Jennifer Schwarztrauber, the venue director at the winery. “This will be a great time to discuss the backgrounds of these wines.” Participants will be able to taste four different white wines in addition to an apple wine that serves as the base for their Skinny Dipping wines.
