The Sounds of Winter
Ottawa Valley Community Arts still has a few places left for their free Art Helps workshop called The Sounds of Winter at Shaw Woods Outdoor Education Centre, Eganville on Saturday, Feb.1 from 1-4pm (snow or shine).
This is your chance to create music in the forest. Join artist Tristan Whiston for a walk in the woods. Listen to the sounds of winter to build your creations. This is a free workshop with all materials and snacks included. This workshop is for creative people 10 and up.
Please contact OV-CAOS if you have questions about accessibility, as the workshop will be spent outdoors in a forest setting. To register, please RSVP to admin@ov-caos.org or text 613-805-1117.
Opeongo Hills Nordic Annual Classic Loppet
