Families are encouraged to bring snacks and water. \nHBMBA directors and volunteers will be on site to help support and lead this family event. \nPlease sign up to let us know you are attending! \n***This is a free event\, however the event ticket does not cover the cost of entry to Christie Lake Conservation Area.
