Citizens for Lexington Conservation: Winter Walk in Dunback Meadow
Saturday, January 24 from 8:00-10:00AM

remain possibilities of viewing unusual birds such as perching owls (Northern
Saw-whet Owl, Barred Owl, and Great Horned Owl), Common Redpolls and
Rough-legged Hawks. Our usual feathered residents, the Black-capped Chickadee,
Tufted Titmouse, Downy Woodpecker and Blue Jay, will be there also.
If there is deep snow wear boots, as the walking can be
rough. Beginners and children are welcome. If there is rain or a snowstorm, the
walk would be cancelled.

Chinese Culture Fair in Celebrating the Year of the Ram
Saturday, January 24 from 1:00-3:45pm at Cary Library, Lower Level Meeting Room and also 7:00-9:00pm at Lexington High School
The Chinese American Association of Lexington (CAAL), Cary
Memorial Library, and the town of Lexington, are sponsoring a free Chinese New
Year Festival this year, and you’re invited! This year’s event, to be
held on Saturday, January 24th, promises to be both special and spectacular.
The Festival is so full of activities for all ages and interests that it had to
be split into two parts! Experience a multi-sensory Chinese Culture Fair at
Cary Memorial Library in the afternoon, from 1:00pm to 3:45pm. Spectacular
performances will be on stage at Lexington High School in the evening.
Witness an artistic Chinese calligraphy demonstration, an
interactive Chinese musical instrument exhibition, and try your skill in
creating traditional Arts & Crafts. Get your phonetic Chinese name
beautifully written on a souvenir bookmark. Join a festive parade to cheer as a
lively and colorful dragon rhythmically roars through the library!
What’s a festival without food, one of the most important
elements of any Chinese New Year celebration? Attend the festival and you’ll
have a chance to sample traditional New Year snacks and goodies. Learn why
these are favorites and some Chinese New Year rituals and “superstitions” that
help assure good luck and good fortune in the New Year!

Winter Snowshoe Walk at Burlington’s Landlocked Forest
Sunday, January 25 from 1:00-3:30pm
Citizens for Lexington Conservation will be offering a first
ever series of snowshoe walks this winter. The purpose of these walks will be
to get outside and make use of those showshoes that you may have long neglected
while enjoying the winter scenery of New England winter. The use of ski poles
is recommended, and don’t forget to bring your water bottle to avoid becoming
dehydrated.
Falling rain or heavy snow will cancel the walk. If snow
cover is thin we will walk anyway but perhaps leave the snowshoes behind.
Meet at the parking area under the high-tension power lines
on Turning Mill Road
