Catch the Wind May 20, 2011

Spring has arrived and windy days are here! How come sometimes a gentle breeze blows and sometimes it is a blustery wind? How does the wind happen, anyway? We'll hear the story of the Wind Eagle and meet a native flyer who likes to float on the spring breezes. Make a small kite of your own and head up the drumlin to fly it. - - Up to three children per adult; fees apply to all participants, both adults and children.
