Where
The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist
127 East 12th Avenue, Spokane, WA 99202

The original dream of a great cathedral in Spokane came to The Right Reverend Edward Makin Cross in 1924, shortly after he arrived to be the new missionary bishop. Together with architect Harold C. Whitehouse, the Bishop began to plan for a gothic cathedral atop the hill. The Cathedral has classical Gothic architecture with a strong French influence. It is solid masonry; no structural wood or steel were used. The dedication of the first section of the church was on October 20, 1929.

Where
Fat 'n Happy Farm, 7923 E. Bernhill Rd,  Colbert, WA
Look for the small “Fat-N-Happy Farm” sign on the left side of the dirt road.  The farm is on the left side of East Bernhill Rd, before the road curves left and becomes N. Kamiakin Trail Lane.

Come learn about llamas, sheep, goats, chickens, and miniature donkeys too!  These hobby farmers seem to collect animals that no one else wants (kind of like The Island of Misfit Toys from the 1964 Rudolf movie!)  Each animal has a unique story of how it came to be loved at the Fat 'n Happy Farm.

Where
Palisades Park, Greenwood Rd at Rimrock Dr
Spokane. Directions

We'll begin with Scat Snacks Game - an animal signs activity. In a zoo, there are signs that tell you what animal to look for, such as “Moose.” But in their natural habitat, animals don't stand next to a sign that labels them. However they do leave us clues as to who was there, in the form of scat. Come learn to identify some Palisades inhabitants by their scat. Just like a naturalist, look for real scat and tracks on our hike. We will give each aspiring scientist marshmallows, jelly beans and other foods, which have the same size and shape as some animal scat.

Registration is recommended but not required.  It just helps us with planning purposes.
