Other activities include nature walks, educational booths, and environmental awareness activities.

Tickets also can be bought by visiting www.nolt.org or calling the land trust, 417-1815.

The first 100 StreamFest Smorgasbord participants to turn in tickets purchased in advance will receive reusable shopping bags donated by Sunny Farms.

StreamFest organizers still are accepting donations of berries for the cobbler, silent auction items, and reusable spoons, forks and bowls. Help also is needed during set-up on Saturday, Aug. 29, and clean-up on Sunday, Aug. 30, after 7 p.m.
