TAKE A TOUR OF ROCK CLIFF FARM

Let's hope the weather's good this weekend because Saturday will be a great day to get outside and breathe some fresh air.

Rock Cliff Farm at Falls Lake is opening from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for its fifth annual B.W. Wells Heritage Day event.

There will be different guided tours throughout the day about history, geology, wildflowers, birds and a canoe tour. There also will be activities for kids and the whole family.

Normally, Rock Cliff Farm is only open for guided tours, so this is your chance to drop in.

The farm is at the end of Bent Road, inside the B.W. Wells Recreation Area at Falls Lake State Recreation Area.

Go to www.bwwells.org/hday for detailed information about the hikes and the schedule. Or call (919) 676-1027.

A "super time" is promised at Blue Jay Point County Park on Monday.

The park is offering a daylong program for kids ages 9 to 12.

At E-N-D-A-N-G-E-R-E-D Spells Trouble, the kids will learn about North Carolina's endangered and threatened species and find out what they have in common with endangered animals the world over. They will also do create great artwork, share stories and play games.

Blue Jay Point is located at 3200 Pleasant Union Church Road. The cost is $30, and the program runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Preregistration is required, so act fast!
