Indiana’s Salamonie Preschool to Offer Two Classes, Nov. 14

Preschool-age children and their adults are invited to attend Salamonie Preschool on Nov. 14 to learn about white-tailed deer.

The program fee for each child is $2. Advance registration is appreciated. Registration may be made by calling Upper Wabash Interpretive Services at (260) 468-2127.
