Spring Creek Day Family Festival
Sunday, September 16, 2007
The 25th Annual Spring Creek Day was held on Sunday, September 16, 2007 at Millbrook Marsh Nature Center. Download the event program here.
Volunteers once again organized a variety of hikes and plant walks, fly casting ademonstrations, an archeological dig, a stream critter identification, and other educational demonstrations. Of course, there was also all of the usual Spring Creek Day festivities – music, food, a magician, and educational exhibits by conservation groups and environmentally-conscious business partners. Demonstrations and activities are appropriate for the whole family.
