About the event
Let's create hiking sticks! Please bring a sturdy, mostly straight stick to decorate. The stick should be no taller than the user's shoulders, about 1 1/2" thick, and as straight as possible. The stick should be light but sturdy. A stick or branch with smooth bark is best. I'll bring paint, yarn, and string to decorate. If there are other items you'd like to include from your nature collections or art supplies, please feel free to bring those as well.
