Pre-registration is strongly advised and can be done through the Twin Pines
Conservation Center’s website. On-site registration will be from 11:00 to 11:45. Lunch will
also be served at that time. Activities start at 12:00. The event is free and each registered
attendee, age 6-12, receives a free Jakes membership, will be entered in the day’s drawings

Jakes, a division of the National Wild Turkey Federation, stands for juniors acquiring
knowledge, ethics, and sportsmanship. This program provides opportunities and challenges
in line with the abilities of youth. Jakes is dedicated to informing, educating and involving
youth in wildlife conservation and the wise stewardship of our natural resources.
Pre-registration is not required but suggested. If you have pre-registered, be sure to
check in at the main building so that your child can complete their entry into the day’s events
and drawings. Twin Pines is located 1.3 miles east of Winona, Mo. on HWY 60.
