The Noisy Puddle Bingo

Join in on this 3-day, cross-town bingo game and learn more about fascinating vernal pool species. Pick up a game board at local sites and hunt for image icons of critters from The Noisy Puddle, written by Linda Booth Sweeney and illustrated by Miki Sato, around Concord Center. Local businesses will have these icons inside or in their windows, where you can check off a new animal on your bingo card. Return your completed card to be entered in a drawing for signed copies of Linda’s books and a private, guided, family-friendly walk to learn more about a vernal pool up close with the Concord Land Conservation Trust.

More information and resources coming soon!
