Steps & Snacks: Mud Season Mothers Walk
Free event as part of The Mothership Collective’s Rally the Village event series. Open to Moms & Moms-to-be.
More details & RSVP: https://partiful.com/e/oAgbW37ov5YvbSukw6ci?c=Te8XJfDb
A little movement, a lot of snacks, and even better company. It’s mud season, so let’s keep it simple: we’ll meet at River Creek Park and head out for an easy walk along the Core Trail toward the Rotary Peace Pavilion (about 0.5 miles). From there, we’ll continue along the boardwalk, stopping as often as we want to take in the views and chat. Afterward, we’ll head back to the park and hang—bring a camp chair if you want to stay awhile. The fun part: the snack swap. Bring two individually packaged “pocket snacks” (your go-to bar, candy, whatever you love). We’ll trade so everyone leaves with something new to try. Moms, moms-to-be, and kiddos are all welcome. Baby-wearing is recommended for the walk, or bring little ones ready to cruise the distance. Come solo or with your crew—either way, you’ll find your people.
