Spring Fest 2012 at Charlotte's Quest Nature Center will offer a day of learning and fun for people of all ages...and best of all...there is no entrance or parking fee. Bring your entire family. Enjoy Reptile Wonders as they share their unique critters. Fire Wise will be on hand to offer resources to reduce the risk of wildfires. See the all new Agility Rabbits compliments of the Carroll County 4H Club or visit our New Fishing Clinic at 12:30 PM or again at 2:30 PM. Girl Scout Troop 2500 will present Enchanted Forest every half hour on the hour. Visit your "forest friends" and learn where they live and what they like to eat. For a very small fee Kids Corral offers many fun activities from a large moonbounce to an obstacle course. Make a gift for Mother or try your hand at one of our games for a small fee. There will also be live animals; pony rides; a petting zoo; an archaeological investigation; exhibits to interest both young and old, and much, much more. Loads of fun for everyone.

2011 Bocce Ball Tournament Winners
The final games of the October Classic Bocce Tournament were held on Thursday night October 6, at the court in Manchester.
Five teams, the PVP's, Meatballs, Boh Ballers, Sausages, and Mixed Breeds met to complete the games that were delayed due to rain on Saturday. Every game was exciting with come-from-behind wins registered in every game, including the championship game. The Sausages from Hanover finished the tournament with a win against the Boh Ballers with a final ball that changed a winning point for the Boh Ballers to a winning point for the Sausages. Earlier, the Boh Ballers won their games against the Meatballs and the PVP's with similar throws. The final standings were first place, Sausage, second place, Boh Ballers and third, the PVP's.
Winners of the contests on Saturday were John Conigliaro, $15 from Pizza Garden, Linda Skinner, $25 from Spargos, and Ron Brett, $25 from Greenmount Station. The raffle for two dozen chocolate eclairs donated by Dutch Corner was won by Jimmy DePalmer and Ed Blankenship.
The tournament was held to promote the game of bocce while supporting Charlotte's Quest Nature Center. $740 was raised.
