Sunflowers at Camp Creek State Park were devoured by deer this summer amid extremely dry weather. Growth of the flowers had been hindered by drought prior to the deer’s feast. The Mercer County Convention and Visitors Bureau wanted potential visitors to be aware that there were no sunflowers to admire this year as many make the long hike to see the field of blossoms each August.
