Leaf fest planned at Finch Arboretum

The Fall Leaf Festival will be from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at Finch Arboretum.

The free family event includes a gigantic leaf pile for the kids to romp through, along with arts and crafts projects sponsored by the Corbin Art Center, and hands-on demonstrations and displays by the Washington State University Master Gardeners and Spokane Rose Society.

The Spokane Regional Solid Waste system will provide composting information, and the urban forestry staff will plant a tree and provide an opportunity to learn more about trees and how to plant and care for them.

For more information, call 624-4832.
