If you're looking for a great place to toast some marshmallows, Arlington Parks and Recreation is hosting a series of family campfires this fall. Register online for these fun events at Long Branch and Gulf Branch Nature Centers.
How do you like your marshmallows: burnt to a crisp, or lightly toasted golden brown? Find out at an Arlington Family Campfire! The Department of Parks and Recreation will offer supervised bonfires, campfire stories, sing-alongs, and all the fixings for s'mores each night. Themed events may have a special educational component to them with guest animals or learning materials.
