OWC Walks

2012 Winter Carnival

This year’s OWC’s Annual Winter Carnival will be held January 8, 2012 from 11:30am to 4:00 pm in the main park building at Chalco Hills Recreation Area, 8901 South 154th (Use Giles Road from Highway 50). Cost is $5 and all members and guests of OWC are welcomed.

Due to water damage at Chalco Hills, we have been informed that our Winter Carnival will be held at the OWC Clubhouse, located just north of the Fontenelle Hills Nature Association buliding in Bellevue. The same times apply. If you are not a member of Fontenelle Forest already, you will need to pay their Walking Fee to get into the forest.

Weather conditions permitting, a walk will start at 12:00 noon. Coffee will be available for game players and others while waiting for the walkers to return.

The lunch line starts at 2:15 pm. The Entre’ will be chicken. Salads and desserts will be provided by board members.

Call or email your reservation to Pat Strecker, 402-614-5950 or pds1@cox.net, by January 6th. Payment will be received at the door by cash or check made out to the Omaha Walking Club.

Note: The park paths are NOT shoveled. Walkers should be properly prepared if there is heavy snow on the ground. Also, no sneaky snacking before 2:15! You know who you are…and The Shadow knows!

We will hold a walk in Fontenelle Forest as a 'warm-up' to the regular season which begins in March. Walkers are encouraged to meet at 2 PM at the OWC Clubhouse, located north of the Fontenelle Forest Nature Assocation. The length and exact route of the walk will depend upon the weather. The walk will cost the normal $1 for the OWC plus any fees necessary for entry into Fontenelle Forest. If you plan to attend, please leave feedback to let us know you are coming.
