We invite everyone to welcome the winter season and continue the 5000-year  tradition of celebrating the return of the Sun after the longest night of the year; although this year we will be a day early. We will meet around a roaring bonfire at Noggin’s Corner Farm and set off for a hike through the centuries-old pine and hemlock forest. We will pass an 18th century Acadian cellar, Poor House graveyard and a huge bald eagle nest. We will look for tracks and signs of wildlife, call for owls in the deep woods, and view the stars from the dykes (weather permitting). We will make our way back to the bonfire for hot apple cider and share a toast to a winter season full of light and good cheer to all.  Charlane Bishop (542-2217) and Harold Forsyth (542-5983) will be the leaders. Meet at Noggin’s Corner Farm in Greenwich at 6:30 p.m.
