Creek to Screen: From Curbside to Coastline

Kids Zone will featuring light snacks, crafts, games, and engaging activities designed to help families learn about creeks in Forsyth County and how water flows through our community. Discover how storm drains connect to streams, how pollution travels downstream, and simple steps we can take to protect our waterways.  Families will also enjoy a special presentation of All the Way to the Ocean, a powerful story that shows how litter on a sidewalk can travel through storm drains, into creeks, and eventually reach the ocean. Following the activities and story time, watch ‘Finding Nemo’, a newer classic animation that celebrates the beauty and wonder of ocean life.
