Junior Ranger Program: Disappearing Act
2019-05-18 10:00 - 11:00 (America/Chicago) | Natchez Trace Parkway, 2680 Natchez Trace Pkwy, Tupelo, MS, 38804, US
The Natchez Trace Parkway invites children and their families to “Disappearing Act,” a Junior Ranger program to be held at the Parkway Visitor Center on Saturday, May 18, 2019, at 10 am. Every animal has at least one adaptation that helps it survive in its environment. Camouflage is an adaptation that helps prey hide from predators and helps predators sneak up on their prey. Join a park ranger for this 45-minute program to learn more about camouflage and see if you can make a creature that disappears into the background using playdough, feathers, and beads. This free hands-on program is ideal for children seven to 12 years old, but everyone is welcome.
The visitor center is located at milepost 266 on the Natchez Trace Parkway, near Tupelo, Mississippi. For additional information, please call 1-800-305-7417.

Most 11-year-olds spend their summers at camps, relaxing, and having fun. Not DJ Swanson. Last summer, he researched and interviewed more than 20 people about the history of Reed’s Department Store in Tupelo for his documentary “Reed’s A History.” He spent time over the fall and winter editing his interviews into a 24 minute documentary that he entered in the Tupelo Film Festival. At 12, he was the youngest person to enter the film festival. While at the festival this spring, he won the Casey Spradling Newcomer Award.
This Saturday, May 18, you have the chance to watch an encore showing of his documentary at the Lee County Library in the Helen Foster Auditorium at 10 a.m. along with the ICC Films short “Hypno Heroes.”
Swanson, and people from Reed’s, will be on hand to answer any questions you might have about the 112 year history.
Light refreshments will be served.
