Harrodsburg, Kentucky – Add a little adventure to your day. Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill is holding Adventure Day on Saturday, June 6, 2009.
Join the talented Shaker Village staff and partners for a FREE day packed with guided hikes, fishing, waterfalls, vista views and plenty of fresh air. Adventure Day at Shaker Village welcomes the community to explore its 3000-acre backyard.
There will be many activities for everyone. Kids can take part in Kids Fishing Day at the pond. They can also learn how to track animals found in their own backyard. For adults, there will be a guided geocaching hike where guests can bring a hand-held GPS and search for hidden treasures. On-site naturalists will lead an owl prowl that offers families an up-close encounter with secretive night-time predators.
For an additional fee, guests can cruise the Kentucky River on the Dixie Belle riverboat or ride along the village road aboard a horse-drawn wagon.
The Fort Harrod Back Country Horsemen will give guided horseback rides along Shaker Village’s 40-mile trail system, and the Kentucky Horse Council will present a “Horse Riders Lunch and Learn.”
“Adventure Day is a great opportunity to get in touch with nature,” said Aimee Darnell, Shaker Village Publicist. “It’s a day to take a break from the stresses of everyday life. The Shakers made time for fun. You should too.”
Guests can participate in Day of Releasement activities celebrating the Shakers’ annual break from their daily chores. Sack races, games and special interactive music and dancing are part of the festivities with the purchase of a tour ticket.
