Get Out! for Wellness: Stone Soup
Stroll, 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 20, Dorothy Rider Pool Wildlife Sanctuary, 3701 Orchid Place, Lower Macungie Township. Explore the wintery trails at the sanctuary; prizes will be given to those folks who have been on 10 or more hikes in 2023. As the tradition of Stone Soup dictates, they will cook up pots of “stone” soup over two open fires — one vegetarian and one beef. Bring a vegetable (fresh or canned) to add to the pot or bring some rolls to go with. For information, contact Arianna Kohler, AKohler@wildlandspa.org. Free.
