SUMMARY:Falls Fest Update - Indoor activities only
DESCRIPTION:Update: Outdoor activities for this year’s Falls Fest have been postponed to next autumn.

Join Ezekiel Jakub of Conservación Panamá to learn how to use a map and compass together to stay safe in the woods! From 2:00-3:00 p.m. on the grounds of the Center enjoy an “Awesome Art in Motion” dance performance with Great Falls Creative Movement (rain date for the dance performance is Saturday Oct. 28).
