Golden Pond, KY – Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area celebrates the changing season with Nature Arts Day on Saturday, October 6th, 2012, from 10am-4:00pm. Discover the artist within you and welcome autumn at this popular annual event at Woodlands Nature Station! Nature Arts Day is an excellent way to learn about the natural world.
There will be something for the entire family including activities for children to help them learn about nature through arts and crafts. Bring the family and visit with local artists and craftspeople as they display, demonstrate, and discuss their work. Learn a new art skill from guest nature artists or try making your own nature crafts.
Artists include basket making, boat building, making your own clay pot, found and repurposed bugs, painted rocks, and much more. Sit back and listen to Native American stories or join in during the Critter Sing-along. Arts and crafts will be available for purchase.
“Autumn is such a beautiful time. There is so much going on in LBL–elk bugling, leaves changing colors, fruits ripening, songbirds and monarch butterflies flying south for winter,” said Cindy Earls, Special Events Coordinator at LBL. “Come to the Nature Station to experience fall and discover how local artists and craftspeople are inspired by nature to create unique works of art.”
General admission to Nature Station is $4.00 ages 13 and up, $2.00 ages 5-12, and free for 4 and under. The following is a complete program schedule. For more information, please call 270.924.2020.
