Squirrel Fest

Having trouble getting the kiddos to the park without any perks? Enter Squirrel Fest with a bevy of bonus attractions. Start with some arts & crafts, get your face painted, take in a puppet show, and learn some dance moves before showing off said moves with some help from DJ HoneyPocket. If that hasn’t enamored them to nature, wait until 8pm when they’ll screen animated tearjerker The Wild Robot. Hopefully it doesn’t set the expectations for the unadulterated Great Outdoors too high. [Editor’s note: Adults can also get squirrely, with Future Front TX teaching a weaving workshop, ceramic how-to’s, and Dr. Curtis Eckerman leading a mothing mission.] – James Renovitch
