 Friday December 20th 7:00P.M.(evening)
  Annual Winter Solstice Hike Aurora Sanctuary
 Join us to celebrate our longest night (close to it) of the year in the woods with the owls, southern
 flying squirrels, and coyotes. Most self-respecting wildlife will be cozy in their winter dens, but
 we foolish  human creatures will brave the harsh weather for “fun”! Hope for a fresh cover of
 snow which will transform the woods into a magnificent, quiet and beautiful, natural cathedral!
 Meet at the Aurora Sanctuary parking lot on the north side of Pioneer Trail a few hundred yards
 East of Page Rd. in Aurora.
