We provide everything you need including cookies, icing, sprinkles, and a box to take your awesome creations home in - we just need YOU!

What’s included in the ticket price:

• One and a half hours of guided practice and cookie decorating

• Six cookies to decorate with four colors of icing and sprinkles

• The Cookie Hub’s own sugar cookie and royal icing recipe to try at home

About Amy, our instructor: I started my adventure into cookie making at my daughter’s fifth birthday. As one of those moms who loves to throw a good party, I had to make sure everything coordinated perfectly, including the desserts. They were such a huge hit I began creating cookies for friends and family events and from there a business grew!

I live in Exeter, RI with my husband, two kids, and 12-year-old French Bulldog. I love everything creative and can usually be found on my Cricut when I don’t have cookies to decorate.

As my day job, I own a marketing company, Hub Digital, which services small business clients throughout the state of Rhode Island.

The Bristol Land Conservation Trust (BLCT) will sponsor an Owl Prowl with Lauren Parmelee, Audubon Society of Rhode Island Senior Director of Education Programs, on Thursday, December 12.

Join the BLCT and Lauren Parmelee for an informational introduction to owls followed by a nocturnal stroll at Mount Hope Farm to look and listen for them in their natural habitat. During the fall and winter, several owl species nest in Bristol and can be heard calling to each other as they set up their territories and bond with their mates. Owls we may encounter include the Screech, Great Horned or Barred Owl. We never know what we'll hear or see, but participants will learn a lot and have a great nighttime walk.

The event, which runs from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., starts at the Mount Hope Farm barn, 250 Metacom Ave., Bristol, RI. Dress for the weather, wear sturdy walking shoes and bring a flashlight. Parking is in the parking lot behind the barn, which is accessed via the main driveway. The cash or check only fee is $15 per person, a maximum of $25 for families, payable at the door, and free for BLCT members. All proceeds go to support the BLCT's mission in preserving open space forever. The rain/snow date is Friday, December 13.

For more information, email BristolLandTrust@gmail.com or call Ray Payson at (401) 255-4903.
