1. Running Colors
Saturday, October 17
Old Forge
Get ready for the most colorful, fun-filled day of the fall! Running Colors is a unique 3.1 mile run/walk that is focused less on speed and more on crazy color fun. Get blasted with powdered color as you travel through the course, and enjoy a color throwing party at the end!
2. Fall Trails Day at Heart Lake
Saturday, October 17
High Peaks Region
Adirondack Mountain Club needs your help cleaning up leaves and other debris before the snow arrives! Volunteers will focus on eight different trails located in the High Peaks Region. Participants can camp for free in the ADK Wilderness Campground on Friday and Saturday nights if they pre-register!
3. Disappearing Nine Patch Quilt
Saturday, October 17
Paul Smiths
Spend a day quilting in the Adirondacks! Learn to easily construct a quilt pattern with a complex appearance by piecing together quilt blocks made from simple nine-patch blocks. This is a great project for beginners or anyone who wants to create a quick and attractive quilt!
