Hundreds of families will come together in our community to prevent birth defects, premature birth, and other infant health problems in the March for Babies. On-site registration begins at 7 a.m. with the 3-mile walk kicking off at 8 a.m. at Reid Park. For more information, visit the websites marchofdimes.org and nacersano.org.

An education specialist will guide children through a tour of the Presidio Museum designed just for them. The program includes a demonstration of where cochineal (red-dye that was an important trade commodity for early settlers) comes from and a story. The Hour will also include a daily life hands-on activity, which could include: pot gardening, laundry the "old fashioned way,” making clay bead bracelets, making wool bracelets, tortilla making, or colonial-period games. Children will then enjoy a coloring activity to encourage participants to express what they have just learned.
