SUMMARY:Flute Lessons for Vets
DESCRIPTION:All Veterans are welcome to join us for learning to play the Native American woodwind flute. \nThe flute is music therapy for veterans dealing with PTSD or other mental health issues. Age\, knowing how to play an instrument or being able to read music is not a consideration as to whether a person can learn to play this flute – it is an easy instrument to learn. As they tell their students\, you can’t make a mistake with how the flute sounds. Their mission is to help our veterans find a calming for their lives through playing the Native American woodwind flute. \nThe program provides free flutes and free lessons for each veteran from Kenneth Troyan. \nName: Dana Abraham \nEmail: Dana@ccpld.org \nPhone Number: (815) 634-4552 ext. 113 \nPresenter: Kenneth Troyan \n

SUMMARY:The Union Depot Railroad Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Union Depot Railroad Museum building is what remains of the original grand 1888 Mendota Railroad Station. However\, when the society acquired the site it was virtually an empty shell. Many volunteers spent countless hours restoring the building to its original state with ticket office and waiting room. The museum has a waiting room for trains that stop in Mendota\, a large HO model railroad layout depicting Mendota with its grand railroad station\, display rooms with railroad artifacts\, and an extensive railroad library. \nUnion Depot Railroad Museum is an MMHS museum and an Amtrak station stop. The building is a restored part of the original railroad station built in late 1880’s which was torn down in the early 1940’s. The museum houses many railroad artifacts\, HO model railroad depicting Mendota in the late 1930’/ early 1940’s\, extensive railroad history library\, and many displays. Part of the building is a waiting room for Amtrak passengers. \n

SUMMARY:Woodcock Walk - Hickory Creek
DESCRIPTION:As the sun sets\, the male woodcock makes his way to the edge of a field and prepares for his extraordinary courtship performance. Normally timid and elusive\, the woodcock is readily observed during the early spring breeding season\, when he leaves the safety and cover of the forest to attract a mate. We will spend the first part of the evening discovering just how amazing this bird is\, then hike to view the courtship flights of the male. \nFee: Free! Age: Ages 7 or older. Registration required by Wednesday\, March 13\, by calling 815-722-4121 or online. \nBe sure to dress for the weather as we will stand in place for a bit to listen for the calls and look for the flight of the woodcock. Meet at the Hickory Hollow Shelter\, which can be accessed from the second parking lot furthest from the LaPorte Road Access entrance. \nThe hike will be approximately 1 mile on both paved and natural surface trails over uneven terrain. Anyone who requires an auxiliary aid or service to participate in this program should submit a request online no later than 48 hours before the program. \n
