Family Fun Saturday: Pines are Fine and Holiday Wreath Art
Family Fun Saturday at the Nevada State Museum on Dec. 13 features a special holiday program, Pines are Fine. All ages welcome to the event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Make a pine needle angel to decorate your holiday tree and craft a holiday wreath out of cones; choose easy crafts for younger audiences. Learn how to tell a pine from a fir or spruce by looking at their cones and needles. Discover one of our state trees, the Pinyon Pine, a plant collected during John C. Frémont’s 2nd expedition.
Find out what kinds of animals eat pine nuts and how American Indians gathered, stored, and processed nuts for food. No reservations needed; take your time and enjoy a variety of activities in both art and science. Admission: $8 for adults; ages 17 and under and museum members are free!
