Dog Walk - come enjoy the beautiful grounds at Franklin Park Conservatory with or without your dog! We’ll meet on the path near the entrance. Paths are paved and nicely maintained but sunny! The loop I take is approx. 2mi around. There are plenty of shortcuts back if that’s too far or we can take it twice if the dogs are up to it. Please keep all dogs leashed as per park rules, thanks!

Time To Get a Little Mojo Goin'

This is a fun, low-key, rock painting activity. I will supply rocks and paints and some ideas. No pressure. Just your chance to create little pieces of joy that you can leave behind wherever you go. You are welcome to bring other mediums like paper or watercolor paints, etc. if you want to create on/with something else.

Let's get Creative!

Just in time for holiday gift giving - let's spark our creativity and gather at Worthington Candle Works for a hands-on sensory experience. We will have options to create a custom-scented candle, body scrub, soap, reed diffuser, lotion or room spray. We can all choose our own product to make and take home with us that day. Please note that candles require a 2-hour set time, which is a perfect time to head to lunch at Dewey's Pizza, which is only a 100 foot walk from Worthington Candle Works. The pricing is as follows: all items other than candles are $28; candles are $25-$50, depending on size

November Nature Walk

Join WQC for our monthly nature walk. This month, we’ll do a two-mile gravel loop around Blendon Woods. This trail series has some hills and stairs, which we’ll take at a medium pace to admire all the amazing views and ecosystems. Bring your favorite birding or plant identification book. If we’re lucky, we’ll see some wild turkeys! All fitness levels welcome! WQC nature walks are LGBTQIA+ spaces, but allies are welcome. Note: this trail is not mobility scooter or pet accessible.

Tour Pilot Dogs, Walk, and Lunch at Tommy’s Diner

**I’ve always been in awe of Seeing Eye Dogs and how they provide independence to someone with visual impairments. I recently had a chance to chat with one of our members, Patty, about her volunteer service at Pilot Dogs. And that conversation led to this tour.** **A Pilot Dog can transform the life of someone who is blind or visually impaired, providing freedom and self-confidence. What a priceless gift.** **If you’d like to learn more about how this is done, or have an interest in volunteering for Pilot Dogs, please join us for this 90 minute tour.** **We will follow with a two mile walk (18-20 minute/mile pace) and then lunch at Tommy’s Diner (recommended by the Pilot Dog staff). https://maps.app.goo.gl/gKsoyanQEsK49YW87?g_st=ic**
