Have you ever had the chance to make beautiful art with charcoal? It’s one of the best ways to create velvety blacks and soft, blendable gray tones. Artists like John Singer Sargent made some of the most memorable portraits in modern art using charcoal!
This Friday, the Clermont Park District will show you how to collect, prepare, and transform raw materials into your very own charcoal sticks. This event is suitable for adults and children ages 8 and older.
You will be working with tools and open fires provided by expert crafters. Register today to save your spot!

There’s always something fun to explore in the parks around Clermont County! Join your neighbors in a morning canoe adventure along the Ohio River this Saturday!

Organizers recommend bringing your own binoculars or borrowing a pair to get the most out of your bird-watching experience.
It may be hot out, so don’t forget to pack a hat, water bottle, and appropriate clothing. Park enforcement only allows water and sports drinks in the canoes, so no alcohol on this trip!
You’ll need to RSVP for this event, but it’s totally free. Organizers will provide canoes, paddles, and life jackets. To ensure safety on the water, this event is for ages 12 and up only.
Saturday, September 5, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Labor Day has finally arrived! We hope you get some time off work this Monday, but if not, there’s still so much to do in Clermont County throughout the day.
Earlier this week, we showed you Discover Clermont’s Bucket List for the end of summer. We recommend exploring any of these great options to make the most of your long weekend.
