Body
JOPLIN, Mo. - The holiday break is a great time for families to play games together and connect with nature. Families will get a chance to do both Dec. 27 at the Missouri Department of Conservation's (MDC) Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center.

This free program, which is open to all ages, will be 2-3 p.m. at MDC's Shoal Creek Conservation Education Center, which is located at 201 Riviera Drive in Joplin.
