New Year’s Eve Sunset Hike

Join environmental education team to celebrate the new year under an open sky with a guided hike in the beautiful Loess Hills. Let the natural world inspire you as you set intentions for the year ahead. 

Please dress for the weather and wear appropriate hiking shoes or boots. For winter hiking, dressing in layers is best. Hats and gloves are important as it will feel colder with the wind.

The Pigeon Gets A Big Time Holiday Extravaganza!

When Mo Willems’ characters get together for the holidays, it’s bound to be the biggest extravaganza ever! The Unlimited Squirrels deck the halls and Elephant and Piggie come ready to celebrate! But will The Pigeon join in the festivities, or will he run all the way to the North Pole in the search of the greatest gift ever? Catchy tunes, silly stories, goofy gifts, audience antics: it’s all in this brand-new musical party that sleighs!
