Families packed their sunscreen and bug spray Saturday and headed down to the Devil’s Icebox area of Rock Bridge Memorial State Park for the annual Water Festival, where booths awaited with different activities. At each booth, kids learned about different aspects of Missouri’s waterways such as conservation, aquatic animals and ecosystems. Down by the creek, with fishing nets in hand, kids searched for crayfish and other creek critters in the murky water. The event occurs every year and is an opportunity for kids to learn about the natural world around them in a hands-on way. By the time the event got rolling, temperatures were pushing into the upper 80s, causing many to head over to explore the Devil’s Icebox cave in search of cooler temperatures. Heat aside, families enjoyed getting outdoors and learning a little something at the same time.
