Darke County Parks
DCP
Receives Grant from Enterprise Holdings Foundation
On December 6, 2016, the Friends of the Parks of the Darke Park
District gratefully accepted a grant from the Enterprise Holdings
Foundation. Nicole Scott, a Remarketing Logistics Supervisor for
Enterprise, is a member of the Darke County Civic Theater which
performs annually at Darke County Parks’ annual Prairie Days festival
and uses the Nature Center facility often.
Because Darke County Parks have a commitment to education and learning
offering activities for all ages, Scott applied for a grant from the
Enterprise Holdings Foundation for the parks’ Prairie Days festival
which includes historical attractions like trade demonstrations, the
long hunter encampment, folk music performances, and old fashioned hand
crafts. Scott said that she comes from a family of teachers who
instilled the value of education. She believes the parks have a
plethora of opportunities and activities right in Darke County’s
backyard.
The funds will be used to help make the 2017 Prairie Days even better
than ever. The park district strives to provide the best possible
experience to the residents of Darke County and beyond and to ensure
comprehensive education for the stewards of tomorrow. They would like
to thank the Enterprise Holdings Foundation for helping to make this
possible.
