The Place To Be This Holiday Weekend: Cooper Lake State Park

Cooper Lake State Park, Facebook

Steve Killian, the superintendent of the Cooper Lake State Park, relates the many activities at the South Sulphur Unit this Martin Luther King, Jr. Day weekend.  Events include archery instruction, a "talk and walk" on beavers; and family trout fishing on Saturday; a nature hike at 10 a.m. on Sunday; and the "Skins and Skulls" nature hike at 2 p.m. on Monday.  Steve says because of the recent passage of the state consitutional amendment providing more funding for state parks, plans have begun to reconstruct the fishing pier at Cooper Lake.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
