This weekend’s Stubnitz Family Fall Celebration was full of hands-on adventures. Families met animals from around the world 🐍🐢, took scenic wagon rides, explored the StoryWalk and scavenger hunt, and got creative with crafts.

A big shoutout to Doug from Parks and Rec at the City of Adrian from giving the wagon rides through the park!

It was the perfect way to kick off fall together. 🍁
