Fall has descended but Crossroads at Big Creek is staying busy with activities for all ages. On Sept. 28, the community is encouraged to join the Friends of Crossroads for a work party at 10 am, cleaning up buckthorn, honeysuckle and burdock. Loppers, gloves and old clothes are recommended, but there are tools to share.

Participants are encouraged to bring gloves and wear clothes that can get dirty. Park on grass lot just off 20th Place. Another dig is scheduled for Oct. 3 at the same time. Crossroads offers this program to county students during the first week of October, this year with the help of several donations. With the extra funds, they can hire professional archaeologists from Midwest Archaeological Consultants.
