Step into the shoes of prehistoric hunters and take aim with an ancient tool! The atlatl, a powerful spear-throwing device used for thousands of years, helped early people hunt with precision—and now it’s your turn to make history come alive-one throw at time. Participants will explore the fascinating history of the atlatl and get hands-on experience throwing spears. Can you hit the target and prove your hunting skills? This is a free family-friendly event and registration is required! Children must be accompanied by an adult. Kids ages 8 and up are welcome to throw. All participants are required to where closed toe shoes. (no croc type footwear or sandals)
