On Friday a trivia night was held at Washington University…there’s a 5K Trail Run at Cahokia Mounds State Historic site, and storytelling events and film presentations at the MO Botanical Garden.  This Wednesday there’s a Native American scavenger hunt for all ages at the Cliff Cave Branch of the STL Public Library on Telegraph Road, and for the next 3 Wednesdays special evening presentations and lectures sponsored by STL County Parks and Recreation will be held at Faust Park.
