The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks<\/strong> (MDWFP<\/strong>) Visitor Education Center (VEC) will host a historical program to kick off their summer events. Mike Robinson, former Resource Manager for the US Army Corps of Engineers<\/strong> at Enid Lake, will present a historical program on the construction of the Enid Lake<\/strong> project. This program will take place on June 8, 2024 at 2 pm.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with the Corps since 1972, Mr. Robinson has written numerous articles on the lake’s construction and the families present on the land before construction. These articles won the notable Howard Crittenden National Interpreters\u2019 Award. Participants can engage in a question-and-answer session at the end of the program.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The program is free with the price of admission. Admission is $2.50 for adults ages 18-59, and $2 for youth ages 3-17 and adults over the age of 60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
