Broom Making
Class at DCP
Back by popular demand, Darke County Parks will again host master broom
maker, Frank Rouse at Shawnee Prairie’s Nature Center on Friday and
Saturday, January 20th and 21st. Frank has over 40 years of experience
making brooms of all shapes and sizes and loves passing on the skill he
learned from his grandfather. This time participants will have a choice
to make either a turkey wing whisk broom, a full sized floor broom, or
both. The turkey wing whisk broom is especially handy for sweeping out
corners and tight spaces and originated as a broom to sweep the ashes
out of the back corners of the hearth.
The whisk broom is great for first time broom makers, and the floor
broom offers a little challenge. For the floor broom class carrying a
$15 materials fee, participants will have a choice of Friday, January
20th at 6pm or Saturday, January 21st at 12pm. The turkey wing whisk
broom classes will be held on Saturday, January 21st at either 9am or
3pm with a $12 materials fee. Space is limited, so be sure to call and
reserve your spot for this program today.
For questions about this program or any other program offered by the
Darke County Parks or to register, please stop by the Nature Center,
call (937) 548-0165, or email info@darkecountyparks.org.

tent, or removing lint from clothes.
