The Super Bowl is coming up fast! Kick off a fun Saturday with a hike, a campfire and a soup-er bowl of your favorite comfort food! Lace up your hiking boots and bring your favorite bowl and a can of soup or chili (non-cream only). We will have two pots on the fire – are you team soup or team chili? We’ll let it simmer over an open flame while we set out for a brisk hike to the famous big bridge!
We’ll take a timeout to enjoy the view from the bridge. You’ll want a camera to review the play. As the clock winds down, we’ll head back to the fire to huddle up and enjoy a hot bowl of soup or chili. Don’t fumble the chance for this fun winter workout! Score the extra point by bringing a second can of soup or chili to donate to the Crete Food Panty.
Fee: Free!
Age: Ages 7 or older.
