Stampede! for Open Space Saturday, August 9, 2014, 9:00 am to noon
Join us on Saturday, August 9, 2014, at Carson Nature Center in Littleton for the 21st annual Stampede! for Open Space. This FREE Western Welcome Week event is a great way for the whole family to celebrate our community's wonderful open spaces. Come for a full morning of fun and educational activities:
Meet a mountain man, explore a tipi, and learn about our area's early inhabitants
Search for clues in the Stampede! Stumper scavenger hunt to get a free Stampede! banana and a chance to win great prizes!
It's all free, but donations are accepted to help South Metro Land Conservancy raise funds to preserve open space in Arapahoe County, participate in regional land conservation efforts, and educate the public about open space.
Directions:
