Hemenway Park’s Biggest Attraction EXPL RING LAS VEGAS
However, the biggest attraction at the park is the resident herd of bighorn sheep. These sheep often come down from the park and graze in the green grass. It is not unusual to see dozens of sheep within yards of park visitors. Boulder City recently announced that the park is getting a much-needed boost thanks to a $175,000 Bighorn sheep grant that was approved by Clark County. The project will include construction of walking trails and paths. It will also create watering holes and irrigation lines for the sheep.
Next time you’re in the area, it’s definitely worth a stop to check out these amazing animals. As always, please be respectful to the wildlife!
CREATING THE PERFECT SNOWBALL FIGHT With No Snow at All An old-fashioned snowball fight is the epitome of winter activities. But if snowfall is lacking or it’s just too cold to venture outside and hurl freezing balls of ice at each other, don’t let it dampen your spirits. You can create and orchestrate your own indoor, snow- free, and entirely safe snowball fight. MAKE YOUR SNOWBALLS While craft stores sell large white cotton puffs that look like snowballs, they’re too light to get any good velocity behind them. Instead, make your own “snowballs” with just a few materials in four easy steps:
4. Cut between the two knots to snip off a tied-off snowball. Repeat these steps until you have at least a few dozen, but if you’re patient enough to make 100 or more, you’ll have ample supply for a substantial encounter. HOWTO PLAY There’s really no “right” way to have a snowball fight. It’s often just about who can hit whom the most, but if you want to turn it into a measurable competition, divide your group into two teams and distribute the snowballs evenly between them. Then create boundaries for each team by laying down masking tape across the room. Teams must stay on their side of the line at all times. Set a timer for however long you’d like the fight to go on, and at your signal, teams can start hurling snowballs across the room at one another. When time is up, gather and count the snowballs on each side, and the team with the fewest snowballs is the winner! A crafty indoor snowball fight can be a lot of fun for people of all ages, not just kids. Best of all, the crafting part is something you only have to do once, and then you have a stock of snowballs for every winter to come.
1. You’ll need a pair of scissors, several pairs of cheap white nylon
stockings (one pair can make about 10 snowballs), and a bag of polyester fiberfill, like Poly-Fil, or use the stuffing from a few old stuffed animals you no longer want.
2. Stuff a handful of the filling down into the end of one stocking leg and tie a knot, creating a round “snowball.”
3. Make another knot after the one you just made, leaving a little space between the two knots.
