It was a brisk day Sunday but the sun was shining for the celebration of art and nature in Willow Springs. The cool weather didn’t stop many from dipping their hands in water and pulp for a little paper-making extravaganza. Many thanks to the staff and volunteers who assisted in enthusiastically sharing the process with others! It was a great day!
