Count down to spring by making a countdown caterpillar at Bath Garden Center, 2000 East Prospect Road, Fort Collins, on Tuesday, March 6, any time from 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. The simple and fun activity, suitable for most ages, involves creating a chain of linked paper rings, each link representing one day until the official arrival of spring on the vernal equinox. Remove a ring everyday until spring arrives. All materials are provided free of charge. Just visit any time between 9:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to make ’n’ take your crafty caterpillar.
