Outdoors

With the weather getting better and the days getting longer, it’s the perfect time to get outside. Nature-based activities tend to make people happier, so get outside and get fit.

The Warrensburg Parks and Recreation office has many events gearing up for the Spring and Summertime for the whole family.

Usually around this time of year you have to search for something cool to do.  Well, something warm to do that's fun, I guess I should say.  It's so cold out that nobody really wants to spend a huge amount of time outside.  That's why we've got the huge Cabin Fever Sports Show, and it's getting closer by the day.

Well folks, I got the chance to get to talk to Amy Epple, who is the Recreation Superintendent for the Sedalia Parks.  She's definitely a busy lady getting a lot of great stuff in line for you and your family this season. Let's go over a quick list of just some of the stuff the Parks and Rec Department has going for you guys.

Kids, I know that we're all busy.  You work, you have to take care of your family, you have to tend to your friends, and you certainly have to be sure to get some time in with the pets.  So when it comes to the summer, sometimes it's really easy to just take the easy way out and send the children to the pool.  And that's great, don't get me wrong.  But sometimes you need something else to capture

The Great Outdoors Family Fun Day will be held on Saturday, June 15 from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Sedalia Rod and Gun Club.  It will be a day filled with archery, shooting, fishing and all sorts of outdoor fun for the whole family.  But which outdoor activity is your favorite?

Kids, I'm a person who has never really had much luck in the planting department.  I can keep children and animals alive, and for the most part myself.  But for some reason, unless it's a very low maintenance type of thing, I tend to kill plants.

The Cabin Fever Sport Show sponsored by Angler’s Port Marine and Rustic Creek Outfitters is coming back to the Mathewson Exhibition Center on the Missouri State Fairgrounds on Feb. 1 from 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. and Feb 2 from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.
