Lufkin – The Texas Forestry Museum invites all Kids’ Club members to attend Fun in the Forest After Dark on Tuesday, February 9 from 5:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. At the event, kids will learn how to build a fire safely from Texas A & M Forest Service employee, Jan Amen.

Children will have the chance to enjoy a hotdog dinner around a campfire. Lastly, the kids and their families will be able to take a night walk on the museum’s Urban Wildscape Trail. A special thank you goes to our event sponsor Timber Pro Forest Service for making this event possible.
