After a sunset/full moon night hike (separate from this event) through the dirt trails of Memorial Park we will snack and chat by a fire, listening to the night time sounds of Hines lake nearby. Everyone is welcome to enjoy, it's family friendly. The next full moon is the "snow" moon.

The Eastern Glades area has 4 fire pits/pad sites and two Pavillions, Promenade & South lakeside with fireplaces all lined up in a row next to each other. The North pavillion is next to the courtyard with strings of patio hanging lights. It is 1st come 1st serve for these spots so we will not know which one is available until after the hike and I see which one is available. After the event start time, at 815pm, look for a comment of which Pavillion is available.

At this event I will ask if anyone has a birthday in February. They will make a wish and blow out a burning marshmallow 🎂
