Have you ever met the beautiful, sweet, pot-bellied pig named Bobo at Perry Farm Park? How about all of Bobo's friends - the goats, sheep, horses, ducks, and chicks? If you haven't already done so, this October is the perfect time to do so!
In October, we will celebrate our furry friends at Perry Park Farm by hosting a photography challenge! Let's see what we can create to capture all the critter's personalities and cute, unique features.
The
kickoff event is on Monday, October 2, 5:30-6:30 PM where University of Illinois Extension 4-H Youth Development Educator (former professional photographer) Shannon Range will host a "
Photographing our Furry Friends" mini-workshop for youth and adults! This will be a crash course in fun ways to capture these critters!
This program is in collaboration with
Bourbonnais Township Park District, and will be located at the beautiful
Perry Farm Park, part of Bourbonnais Township Park District. Meet at the
barns by the farm house.
The top photo/s in each
skill level (see below) and species will be publicly displayed at a location TBD and on social media (exact details coming soon!).
