Celebrate "Just Do It" Day at Allegany State Park!
January is a great time to get things done. In 2015, National Just Do It Day was created to encourage people to take action and finally do the things they have always wanted to do. It’s a day to work on goals, dreams and procrastinated projects. Maybe the goal is to ride a bike for one thousand days, send a message to a friend, re-pot overgrown plants, learn to play a harmonica or recycle all the cardboard boxes from the holidays.
