Full Moon Flashlight at Stone-Tolan


What do you do when there is a drought, it is the hottest day of the year (since 1876),  there are 40 mph winds, and you have a campfire event planned? Faux Fire, of course! None of the kids in attendance at the first Full Moon Tour had a problem eating their s’mores “raw” – and everyone enjoyed commenting on how “refreshing” the campfire felt as we shared campfire games and stories.

We hope the August 14th Full Moon Flashlight Tours will give us the opportunity to enjoy an actual campfire – but either way we are certain to enjoy a wonderful campfire experience!

Tuesday, August 14 | 7-8 p.m. | Stone-Tolan Historic Site | 2370 East Ave
