LOWER LAKE, Calif. — On Saturday, Oct. 1, the Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association, or AMIA, will host a celebration of the 40th Anniversary of the founding of Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.

The event, to be held in the picnic area of the park, will include music, refreshments, a few speeches and a few surprises.

The day will begin with a guided nature walk at 9 a.m., followed by a welcoming address by Lyons and a talk by Tom Nixon, former State Parks Ranger assigned to the park, about the founding of the park and its history since that time.

In addition to other surprise speakers, the day will feature music on the ranch house porch by Don Coffin and friends, tours of the exhibits in the South Barn and, of course, a 40th birthday cake.

AMIA invites everyone to spend a lovely fall day with friends and neighbors while we celebrate Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.

AMIA is a nonprofit association cooperating with the California Department of Parks and Recreation to promote educational and interpretive activities at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.
