Dear Friend of the Neponset,
 
River Art Fall Family Day has been moved to this Sunday, Sept. 16, because 
of the wet weather expected on Saturday.
 
You're invited to explore the natural and cultural history of the Neponset 
River Watershed at River Art Fall Family Day on Sunday, Sept. 16, from 
10AM-4PM. River Art takes place on the scenic grounds of the Forbes House 
Museum, 215 Adams St., Milton.
 
Peruse colorful booths of fine art and handmade crafts for sale, accompany 
naturalist Tom Palmer (NepRWA Board Member, President of the Friends of 
the Blue Hills, photographer & author) on a guided nature tour overlooking 
the Neponset Estuary, tour the historic and fascinating rooms of the 
Forbes House Museum, participate in canoe rides on the Estuary, introduce 
your children to nature- and craft-oriented activities, listen to live 
music by Murphy's Kitchen (classic rock), and watch plein air art 
demonstrations by local artists!
