Craft Night
Enjoy your Friday night by luminary light! Take in the beauty and serenity of a crisp winter evening on a self-guided 1.5 mile illuminated trail – a great adventure for both grownups and children. Traverse our trails on skis, snowshoes (6+ inches of snow), or your own two feet. A warm fire and hot cocoa will be awaiting you when you return.
Craft Night! Join us for an evening of creativity and artistic expression at Craft Night! Before or after the hike, adults and children of all ages are invited to embrace their artistic side as we provide several crafting stations to explore. If you’ve got a craft you’re working on, bring it with while you relax, socialize, and create with others! Bring your ideas, enthusiasm, and a willingness to try something new.
Craft stations include:
– Love letters to nature
– A community art project
– “Over and Under the Ice” wall hanging, courtesy of Riveredge’s Community River Program (CRP)
Snowshoe rental is available ($10/hour for non-members and FREE for Members). Event may be altered/canceled due to weather conditions.
All ages welcome!

With the Museum of Wisconsin Art’s Teen Council, Teens Night offers more sophisticated projects for the older DIY’er, led by teens, for teens. Get into the holiday spirit! There will be popcorn, granola bars, hot chocolate, and cider.
Crafts will include coal-burned spoons, wire-wrapped jewelry, collaged or painted picture frames, painted acorn and beaded wall hangings, and sea glass art.
