"Outdoor recreation is a pervasive force in America, enjoyed by nearly every one of us and providing mental, physical, economic and social benefits. June is an especially active time for recreation in America, with millions of us commencing summertime activities and hundreds of annual events and meetings ranging from National Trails Day to National Boating and Fishing Week, National Family Recreation Week to National Clean Beaches Week. Recognition of the value of recreation and the importance of June as a time of recreation activity prompted Presidential designation of June as Great Outdoors Month for the first time in 2004." source: greatoutdoorsmonth.org The Fenton family has always loved the outdoors. Pictured left is Frank M. Fenton in 1966 during a Fenton family vacation at a dude ranch in Colorado. Several Fentons fell hard for sculptor Suzi Whitaker's new figurine horse mould, so each of these adorable youngsters bear the signature of a Fenton family member. The Fenton Foal in Autumn Gold bears the signature of Nancy Fenton.
