Winter Fairy Festival @The Watershed

Saturday March 4, 2023
11:00 AM - 1:00 PM

Fairies and Friends gather together outdoors for some magical activities at the Watershed. We’ll build fairy cottages using natural materials, search for fairies hidden at each activity station using a scavenger hunt sheet, create some fun crafts, play games and flutter our way around the obstacle course and more. Come dressed as a fairy or other mythical creature and bundled for outside play. We estimate it takes about an hour to do all the stations.

Please plan to arrive between 11 am-12 pm to get the most out of the event! Ages 2 and up, adult attendance required.

Swap-o-Rama: Upcycle your Closet, ACP

Saturday March 4, 2023
1:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Let's all take a look in our closets. When was the last time you wore that pink plaid blazer or those red velvet bellbottoms? The EPA reports that the US generates 16 million tons of textile waste annually. Instead, let's update our closets the sustainable way. You bring clothing and materials to swap with fellow attendees, and we'll provide sewing machines, scissors, and limited notions to help you complete a one-of-a-kind upcycled ensemble.
