your own clever disguises! Before and after the show, join in the
fun by creating puppets, testing your building skills, showing off
your acting skills, and a whole lot more! Also, be sure to bring
your camera for the Pigs on the Prairie Photo Booth!

Leopold Bench Building Workshop
Saturday, September 24; 10:00 a.m.-noon
When the famed conservationist and father of the modern environmental movement
Aldo Leopold wanted a place to sit down, he built himself a simple bench with
timeless appeal. Join us to make your very own Leopold Bench - the perfect
addition to any yard, garden, porch, or trail! The Central Illinois Woodworkers
Club has created pre-cut bench kits for assembly by individuals and families. No
carpentry skills are needed. The benches are 48” long and are made of treated
yellow pine. All participants will also receive a copy of Aldo Leopold’s
classic, A Sand County Almanac.
Fee includes cost of bench kit: $60 members; $75 non-members. One bench kit per
family please.
Registration and pre-payment required by September 19th.
