Bug repellent and headlamps provided. The evening will begin at the trailhead to Lampson Falls off Rt. 27 at 8:00 pm. 

Using natural plant or animal products to color textiles is an ancient practice. Most clothing today is dyed with synthetic dye. At this workshop, you can experience the magic of coloring an article of clothing with plants you can find in your backyard! Join us at the Potsdam Farmer's Market on Saturday, June 29th to dye your own bandana with our dyes!
