Spooky Stroll and Moonlit Skies
Join Wenatchee River Institute, Wenatchee Valley Astronomy Club, and others for an evening of family friendly, slightly spooky fun! Suitable for young ones and the young at heart!
It's the full moon and less than a week before Halloween. We'll kick off the evening with a Spooky Stroll at dusk. Listen for critters that come awake at night and hear stories about bats, owls, coyotes and more! After our walk, you can stargaze and see the full moon through telescopes, or you might warm up in the Red Barn with a cup of hot cocoa while creating a creepy craft. Or go on a moonlit scavenger hunt to look for things that glow in the dark with WRI's Land Steward.
Check back for a more detailed schedule as we get closer to the event.
Suggested cost of $5-10 per person, or $20 per family.
RSVP by October 23rd with a donation of $5 or more and get a free hot cocoa for up to 4 members of your party!
