2020 Foundation Fundraiser
This year has been unique for all of us.
Our Foundation Board decided to explore a new idea to reach out to our supporters to showcase just how unique and important The Falls of the Ohio State Park and surrounding area are to our community. So many of us have found a sense of wellbeing by connecting with nature. We suggested to New Albany based Houndmouth that they play a concert for us from the fossil beds that would be live-steamed over YouTube and Facebook and they agreed!
Saturday, October 3 was a great evening! We were fortunate enough to host this wonderful event that everyone could be a part of in a socially distanced way. If you did not get to watch it that evening, you can still view the concert on YouTube by searching for Houndmouth at The Falls of the Ohio.
