Join Woody the Owl for Kings Mountain Earth Day celebration on April 12.

The City of Kings Mountain, in partnership with the Kings Mountain Gateway Trail and the
Albemarle Corporation, will host an Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 12th, to mark the 55th anniversary of Earth Day.
Various community organizations and vendors will provide free activities.
Dino Encounters by Ross plans to bring some cool dinosaur friends to the event, including our friend Woody the Owl.
Circle M Livestock Safari Park will debut at the celebration, bringing animals worldwide to
the Gateway Trail. Outdoor enthusiast and educator Spencer 2 Dogs Bolejack will return to the Gateway Trail to demonstrate survival skills and folk traditions. The event will also feature face painting, woodworking, food vendors, and entertainment by The Dancing Fleas, sponsored by Metal Recycling Services.
The Butterfly Release is by far a crowd favorite! Make plans to help release 200 Painted Lady butterflies back into their natural habitat. This activity supports the national and environmental cause to save our pollinators.
Extra parking is available across the street from the trailhead and along Quarry Road. Come out to celebrate our beautiful earth and enjoy a walk on the trail! This special event will begin at 11:00 a.m.
