Oracle State Park – Dessert in the Desert Event

Val Bembenek

An afternoon of munching sweet treats and desserts while classic pop tunes roll off the record player is scheduled for 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Friday, September 11 in the Kannally Ranch House at Oracle State Park Center for Environmental Education. A raffle drawing — with two dozen prizes themed to excite explorers and home bodies alike — will round out the Dessert in the Desert social.

Sponsored by Friends of Oracle State Park officers, the free event is open to FOSP members with a special invitation to others in the greater community who love the park and want to learn how we can work together to support the ongoing commitments of FOSP — funding for public events at the park, ranch house preservation and environmental education. Information about weekend activities at the park will be posted as well.

There will be no admission charge and no park entrance fee for the event, but an email RSVP/reservation to [email protected] is requested.

Those attending are encouraged to bring a dessert to share pot-luck style. They may bring a beverage of choice and any favorite 33 or 45 rpm vinyl records as well.
