Held outdoors at the North Timber Creek area at Milford Reservoir, we are at the mercy of the weather, but have found early October to be a favorable time of year. With each year of experience, the event becomes a little easier to plan and set-up. Finding presenters for the stations has not been difficult. We draw on natural resource agencies (NRCS, Wildlife & Parks, Corps of Engineers) in the area as well as community volunteers. Retired and/or former teachers have been a good source of assistance. We provide a workbook for the students with one or two pages about each activity station and some other water-related information and activities. This has been well received. Overall, the water festival is an event that the teachers, students and presenters look forward to and enjoy every year.
