Join us at Indian Creek Nature Center for our annual Sierra Club Chili Luncheon and Silent Auction on Saturday, November 14th. Sample some delicious homemade chili and bid on a variety of outdoor equipment, including camping, hiking, gardening and boating items.
The auction and luncheon both begin at 11 am, with bidding on the auction items ending at 12:30. For prices and more information, click here.
We hope to see you out at the Nature Center to support two great causes!

Sunday and Monday at the Nature Center were alive with the sounds of children experiencing nature. (Curiously, that sounds a lot like a marimba!) We dedicated the new trail on Sunday, and the media coverage drew crowds here on Monday as well. So far, it looks like a hit!
But now for what you really want. Pictures! (Above: staff, committee and crew members pose around the marimba with other instruments and cloth “flags”. I think we’ll call them the Sense of Wonder Jam Band.)
Two young visitors give the marimba a whirl. So far, this has been the hot ticket item on the sense of wonder trail!
Contemplating her next move, this tic tac toe player is using game pieces made from reused plastic and canning rings!
A family works together to build a “block city” out of natural materials called tree cookies!
There’s always something to see and do at Indian Creek Nature Center. While the staff takes a step back and a deep breath (and maybe even a nap!), come out and enjoy our newest feature. And, as always, stay tuned for what’s next!
