The iconic Smokey Bear turns 81 this year, and we will celebrate his birthday with gusto. We hear that Smokey Bear will appear for pictures and “paw-tographs” at Sequoyah, Lake Murray and Roman Nose State Parks. The celebration activities include a scavenger hunt, arts and crafts, games, prizes and giveaways, and a special fire prevention demonstration by Smokey Bear and the U.S. Forest Service.
Each session covers essential topics, with presentations by local experts on subjects such as legal and financial planning, caregiver brain health, and veterans benefits. Caregivers are equipped with information to proactively consider long-term care and end-of-life planning.
