Kevin Haver, Director of Johnny Appleseed Parks, was guest speaker at the Sept. 6 Bluffton Lions Club meeting.

Over a dozen parks that cover 1,200 acres are involved with this Appleseed system.

Parks offer fishing, boating, swimming, camping, playgrounds, nature programs, concerts, living history, apple/maple syrup festivals, music groups and more.

The Johnny Appleseed Metropolitan Park District was created in June 1972. The park corporation is a non-profit organization and accepts planned giving programs.
