Story Walk at Fike Park

The Goal of StoryWalk is to help buid children's interest in reading while encouraging healthy outdoor activity for both adults and children. StoryWalk aligns perfectly with the No Child Left Inside philosophy that stresses the vital importance of reconnecting children with the natural world.

Decision Weather: September 27th:

High-pressure and upper-level ridge will begin the week over the Rockies and then get pushed east over the Great Plains late in the week as a trough moves into the Northwest and Hurricane Ian moves inland and through the southeast.  This will block up the weather pattern and any precipitation chances and result in warmer than normal daytime highs in the upper 70’s and low 80’s during the first half of the week and reach into the mid and upper 80’s late in the week.  Overnight lows will be in the upper 40’s and low 50’s with generally northwest and south winds 10-15 mph.  Saturday upper-level trough moves in with cooler temps and evening rain chances over the weekend.

They perform exclusively their own music, which is an original blend of musical styles from Mozart to Madonna, and perform dozens of concerts and outreach programs each season. In Colby, they will present “That 70s Show”, which includes music from 1770s, 1870s, and 1970s!
