Roll Up Your Sleeves! Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo Need Volunteers.
Last week, we all heard how the recent flooding in Southeast Minnesota closed Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo due to the damage and road conditions. There wasn't much news at first other than the park was closed indefinitely, as originally posted on the Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo facebook page. Today, there is good news! And if you were one of the many individuals in the community that wanted to help clean up...well, it is time to roll up our sleeves.
If you missed the photos and original story, you can check those out here. The photos of the playgrounds and areas where people can sit for a picnic truly show the damage and debris that has washed into the area. (View the photos here)
Ready to volunteer? Here's the latest info from Oxbow Park and Zollman Zoo:
