Hi again, A few things to clarify. 1. There is no limit to the amount of people who can attend. There was a typo saying "limited to 35. We usually get more than 100 people at the festival.
2. For the East Pond walk "sensible shoes" would be boots as there are definitely muddy and shallow water areas you'll have to get through. 3. Unfortunately we'll not be able to walk all the way around the West Pond. Since superstorm Sandy there is a wide breach of about 50'. We can only walk out to about where bench 6 is. We can go the other way and check out the gardens for early migrants. 4. Lastly, please sign the petition to restore the West Pond. Every signature counts.
