Earthplace Fall Fest Brings Excitement to the Forest
Today’s Fall Festival at Earthplace brought fun and wonder to the Woodside Lane forest with hayrides, animal encounters, and an apple slingshot (pictured). The Festival took a hiatus during the pandemic, but returned in full force this year with volunteers and members of the Earthplace team helping facilitate the annual fundraising tradition. All funding goes towards supporting the non-profit mission of the local nature center and preschool, helping to fill in a donation void left by the lockdown-era world. WestportLocal.com photo
