“Afterward, he couldn’t stop talking about the new moves that he learned and how excited he was about the wildlife he got to see while kayaking, like turtles at the water’s edge,” said his mother, Agatha Aleniak. “We really don't have that many opportunities to kayak, so it was great to see that you can rent them out and Richie is excited to come back and explore more via kayak.” They were among hundreds of people who attended the event from as far away as Ohio, Wilkes-Barre, Carlisle and York, drawn in by nearly 20 interactive educational booths, guided hikes, local wildlife artists, live musicians and programming all day at the preserve’s fossil pit by Central PA Rock and Mineral Club President Andrew Rockhound, and his wife, Cori Rockhound.
