A Solstice Night Out

Dec. 17, 2022

Dec. 21 is the winter solstice and shortest day of the year, and instead of burrowing under the blankets, it’s the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the chilly beauty of nature in her winter form. The Grand Traverse Conservation District (GTCD) is celebrating the changing of the season with a campfire and hike evening at their Great Lakes Incubator Farm (1091 N Keystone Rd. in TC). The farm, as reported by Northern Express a few weeks back, will be the demonstration site for a new program geared toward teaching aspiring farmers how to work the land and create a thriving business. From 5-7pm, GTCD will offer tours of the farm—a half-mile hike—followed by a warming fire and cups of hot cocoa. Guests are encouraged to bring their own mugs to help reduce waste! The event is free, though pre-registration is appreciated for planning purposes. Sign up and learn more at natureiscalling.org/events.
