We won''t be able to offer this Second Saturday partnership, but will reschedule when conditions are safer!
Birds with Benton Soil & Water Conservation District- Together Benton Soil & Water Conservation District and The Arts Center are celebrating our backyard birdlife! Lots of activities for the bird lovers including painting a beautiful banner designed for us by local artist Caroline Moses.

Around the globe, people are celebrating the international PARK(ing) Day, an initiative to promote re-thinking of public space. It always takes place the 3rd Friday of September. The idea is to transform parking lots into parks, playgrounds, BBQ parties, gardens...Grey parking places are being transformed into a liveable and creative space.

Boost world happiness: provide native blooms for pollinators! We posit that seeing bees buzzing about, watching butterflies flutter and spying spritely hummingbirds is good for your soul! Purchase a variety of native bulbs and seeds from BSWCD at Fall Festival. Find us in the Sponsor Area by the old fountain, between the food vendors and the art booths.
