Now, Pete and Ellie must try to learn the ropes of instant parenthood in the hope of becoming a family. PG – 13 / 2 hrs.



Coming Soon

Night Hike to Clark’s Tower

Tuesday • 1/22 • 6:00 – 7:00 pm
Madison County Conservation Board

When the leaves are missing from the trees, the view from the top of Clark’s Tower extends over the Middle River Valley. This means, January is the perfect time to hike to the top of the tower using the natural light from an almost full moon. Hikers will meet at the Madison County Conservation Board Office at 6:00 pm before heading across the road to Middle River Park and hiking to the top of Clark’s Tower. Should the weather seem a little more wintery by then, hot chocolate will be served in the conservation board office after the hike. This is a family friendly hike open to people of all ages. It may be hard to join up with the group once we depart from the office so pre-registration is requested by not required. To pre-register, contact the conservation board office at 515-462-3536 or e-mail naturalist@madisoncountyparks.org.
