Kids, ages 5-12, are invited to explore life in a creek. We will be searching the creek for clues of who lives there by using dip nets and hand lenses. Be prepared to get wet and muddy.

'60s SURVIVORS BAND
7:00 p.m. - Saturday, August 5
The boys from the '60s are back and ready to rock and roll with the Golden Oldies. Re-learning songs that they played 50 years ago has been quite challenging, but these guys are still rockin’. Join us for a rocking and rolling good time!
