Story County Conservation invites the public to the monthly O.W.L.S. (Older, Wiser, Livelier Seniors) program at the Story County Conservation Center at McFarland Park (56461 180th Street) northeast of Ames. History of the High Trestle Bridge will be presented by Richard Voelker on Tuesday, March 5, beginning at 11:00 a.m.
The High Trestle Trail Bridge over the Des Moines River between Madrid and Woodward has garnered rave reviews from users as well as recognition from numerous publications and organizations. Join Richard M. Voelker of Snyder & Associates, Inc. for a conversation about the history, design, and construction components of the bridge.
O.W.L.S. programs are designed for "boomers" or older – but anyone can attend. An optional luncheon follows the program at 12 p.m. To view a full schedule of OWLS programs, go here: http://bit.ly/sccowls.
