Your adventure begins at the Morris Thompson Center downtown where you’ll register and get free goodies. The adventure begins with a scavenger hunt at the visitor center museum, and then you go outside to stroll along the scenic Chena Riverwalk.  On the way, stop at fun and informative activity tables run by over twenty local organizations.  These tables feature crafts, games, and puzzles all targeted to teach kids about their watershed.  This event will run rain or shine.
