RAIN PLANS for OPEN HOUSE
Due to predicted rain and thunderstorms on Saturday April 22nd, we are planning to:
-end the Open House at 1pm (when weather is supposed to get worse.)
For those ticket holders of 10a-1p session, you can come as planned.
For those ticket holders of 1p-4p session, you can come to the MORNING SESSION 10a-1p!
We will plan to do as many activities as the weather allows, but there may be a few showers in the morning.
We will move some programs inside if possible and have a tent over the campfire for S’MORES!
Please bring rain gear and sturdy shoes.
The Outdoor Lab is wonderful on a warm, cloudy day. Students go outside for field trips no matter the weather. (Some animals venture out and fish seem to be hungrier;)
Thank you for understanding.
