Event details
Fall is the best time of the year to enjoy the night! Hang out around the campfire and hear stories about our nocturnal friends — bats, coyotes, raccoons and more — while enjoying s’mores and hot chocolate. Spend time looking at the night sky with scopes and binoculars then go for a short night hike to howl at the moon. Who knows who might howl back?!

Registration required by Thursday, Oct. 17: 815-722-9301.
