The iconic Smokey Bear turns 82 this year, and we will celebrate his birthday with gusto. We hear that Smokey Bear will make an appearance for pictures and "paw-tographs" at Salt Plains, Tenkiller and Thunderbird State Parks. The celebration activities include a scavenger hunt, arts and crafts, games, prizes and giveaways, and a special fire prevention demonstration by Smokey Bear and the U.S. Forest Service.
