This year's autumnal equinox is on September 22. One great way to prepare for this event tha let's us know that the earth is still spinning is to decorate. We will have on hand items such as tree "cookies" to decorate with night and day, marbles, acorn caps and other natural items you can use to represent the arrival of a new season.

All materials will be provided free while supplies last. Children under 8 must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
