Join Boot Boutwell and The Friends of the Fells in celebrating the season of the Winter Solstice, the time of year when the midday sun is at its lowest point in the sky. The solstices mark key turning points in the year and have been celebrated by many cultures throughout history. The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day (and the longest night) of the year. We will celebrate the season with solstice history and lore, poetry, a solstice story, and a walk outdoors to enjoy the beauty of nature in winter. The program will end back indoors with a short ceremony to welcome in the solstice season followed by warm cider and cookies. Families are welcome to share in this event! PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED: Maximum - 26 participants. Registration closes Friday, December 16th; call Boot Boutwell at 781-729-4712.
