Holiday
Shopping at Friends of DCP Gift Shop
The Friends of Darke County Parks invites everyone to do their holiday
shopping at the gift shop located inside the nature center at Shawnee
Prairie Preserve. It has everything you need for the birder, hiker, or
general nature lover on your list, as well as many fun and educational
items for the kids. The wide selection of books, including many nature
field guides, is sure to impress, and the birdfeeders and suet blocks
are big sellers this time of year. The rugs and coasters are woven by
volunteers in house with the loom, and the hand forged hooks and key
chains are made by volunteer blacksmiths at the park. For the history
lover on your list, there are many different types of historical games,
and your fashionista in the family would love a handmade scarf or pair
of nature themed earrings. Younger visitors to the gift shop always
marvel at the toy animals, books, and colorful stones for sale. If
someone on your list is already a member of the Friends organization,
you can even get them a professional looking polo shirt to show off
their support.
Item prices in the gift shop range from as little as 25 cents to $35,
with most items being in the $3 to $10 range. For those just out
enjoying the park and the nature center, the gift shop also has water
and soft drinks, both diet and regular, available for purchase. The
gift shop hours are from 9am to 5pm Monday through Saturday and closed
on Sunday. The Friends of the Darke County Parks will also have special
holiday gift baskets made up of items from the gift shop and beautiful
wreaths made of sorghum seed heads available at the Walkin’ in a Winter
Wonderland event on December 5th from 6pm-9pm. For any questions about
the Friends of the Darke County Parks gift shop, please call (937)
548-0165 Monday through Saturday 9am-5pm.
