We even end with some trail running! There will also be craft stations, music, historical games and activities, wood block printmaking, cross stitch, etc. So plan on joining us, and meet your challenges all in one day!
We had a wonderful evening for our Birdwalk with Linda Gibbs from the Tug Hill Land Trust. Beautiful weather, great turnout, and lots of fun!
We had a great time putting together our bluebird house kits. That counts for one of the two events for your “challenge” if you are new to this!
You can let us know what you have done with photos on our Facebook page, email, or send us a letter. (It can be as “old school” or “new school” as you like.) Just a few of the activities listed are an outdoor scavenger hunt, Christmas activities, crafts, games and sports, etc. Meet the challenge and get some cool stuff, help raise the flag for our spring opening, as well as be recognized at our end of the year event!
Free horse drawn carriage rides are a great way to check off TWO of your challenges! Join us on October 28th for lots of fun.
