The Tulpehaking Nature Center will host lunch from noon to 3 p.m. Free hamburgers and hot dogs will be available to the first 100 visitors; additional meals will be available for purchase. Families can enjoy weaving with reed grasses, examining marsh plants under a microscope and taking their picture with an air boat. There will even be a chance to win a bike or kayak by entering a free raffle.
