WAYNESBORO – Area families are invited to join a walk along the story trail on Sunday, Nov. 10, from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Pine Hill Recreation Area, hosted by Buttonwood Nature Center, home of The Institute.
Children can join a guided walk and activities along the story trail as they read a story book, then make a special craft project to take home.
The book for November is “Bear Says Thanks” by Karma Wilson, with illustrations by Jane Chapman.
“This beautifully illustrated book is a heartwarming celebration of family and friendship and perfect for the season of thanksgiving,” said Pam Rowland, Buttonwood’s educational site coordinator.
What better way for Bear to say thanks than over a nice, big dinner? Bear decides to throw a feast! One by one, Bear’s friends show up with platters of delicious food to share. There’s just one problem: Bear’s cupboards are bare! What is he to do?
The event is free. Pre-registration is preferred but not required. Individuals may register online at: www.buttonwoodnaturecenter.org.
For more information, they may contact Buttonwood at 717-762-0373 or via email: [email protected]. The event is limited to 20 children.
All families are welcome, but activities are geared for preschool and elementary age kids.

Other sponsors include Kathy Helfrick, with additional support from Today’s Horizon Fund contributors: The Nora Roberts Foundation; Marge Kiersz; APX Enclosures; Don Gibe and Nancy Erlanson; and the family of the late Carolyn Terry Eddy, with daughters Connie Fleagle & Kim Larkin.
