Now, the program is offering a First Friday <br />Outdoor Baby Walk and Talk. Caregivers will discover natural locations <br />to take their infants, ages newborn to two years, for walks around <br />Eugene while socializing and enjoying the great outdoors. All baby <br />walks will be on paved paths, making it easy for strollers. The next <br />Baby Walk is 9 -10 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 2, in the Owen Rose Garden <br />and is free. <br /> <br />This is the Outdoor Program’s latest effort to encourage children and <br />youth to get outdoors. In addition to an array of outdoor activities <br />offered year-round, the Full Moon Rising Program helps elementary- <br />age children reconnect with nature, develop the five senses, learn to <br />calm down, and inspires them to be good stewards of the natural world. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Roger Bailey at 541-682-5329. <br /> <br />Celebrate Music and Dance at Eugene Public Library <br />Song and dance are in the air at the Eugene Public Library.
