Join the Kansas Wetlands Education Center staff in celebrating the Christmas season with a Holiday Open House from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 2.  

The KWEC gift store is stocked with perfect gift selections for any nature enthusiast. Visitors can take advantage of a 40% discount on one item, excluding consignment items. Find the hidden Christmas Goose and be entered into a drawing for a $50 gift certificate.  

This year, visitors can decorate bird-shaped sugar cookies to resemble the birds that visit Cheyenne Bottoms. Participants can also build a unique nature ornament to take home. 

No registration is required for this free, family-friendly event. Kickstart your holiday spirit with a visit to the Kansas Wetlands Education Center. For more information, visit wetlandscenter.fhsu.edu or call the toll-free phone number, 877-243-9268.
