Fun to Be Had Throughout the Event
We will have lots of fun things to do and see throughout the entire event. We will have plant & seed giveaways around our Harvest Hub, while supplies last. In the Canopy Room will be making collage pictures and our own storybooks. Stop by the park center to check out our temporary exhibits and what we have coming in the future. And of course to say hi to Stella, our eastern box turtle ambassador.
Outside near the Park Center & Canopy Room we will have games and activities such as marbles, jacks, giant Jenga, giant connect 4 and sidewalk chalk. We will also have a vendor doing fairy hair and glitter tattoos here too.
Don't forget to check out or many vendors at the Harvest Hub, along the Great Lawn, and next to the Canopy Room. We will have vendors from the community, other Wake County Parks, and even a station for temporary tattoos and face painting.
