The “Rock Man”

On Thursday December 3rd at 6pm the Darke County Parks District is thrilled to welcome Mike Manning, aka The “Rock Man.” Mike has been studying rocks for 40 years. He has traveled all around the world in search of geological treasures. His collection, which he will be bringing to the Nature Center, is second to none and includes fossils, minerals, rare specimens, and unique finds. It is a special treat to be present for Mike’s presentation as participants will be able to obtain a large geode after the program. Mike also has a very extensive rock gift shop and will be bringing items for sale! Rocks make perfect Christmas gifts for the rock hounds on your list. Though this program is free to the public, preregistration is required.

For more information about this program, to preregister, or for information about any other program offered by the Darke County Parks, please call the Nature Center at (937) 548-0165.
