Ye Old Family Night Campfire at West Hill Park: Saturday May 19, 2018

The Ranger Team at West Hill Dam invites everyone to an evening campfire.  Come enjoy a starlit night, marshmallows and the glow of a campfire on Saturday May 19, 2018 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM, as we celebrate "National Kids To Parks Day."  Help with a sing-along or bring your acoustic guitar (acoustic or ukuleles are okay) and share your talents.  Join us at the large shelter at West Hill Park (off Quaker Street, 25 West Hill Road, Northbridge, MA 01534).   Enjoy a toasty campfire and bring hotdogs and marshmallows for roasting (some provided while supplies last).  Dress comfortably and bring insect repellent.  Guitars, stories, chairs, blankets and of course marshmallows are encouraged.
