The free event, at 4600 S.E. Columbia Way, runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
The University of Oregon’s men’s lacrosse team, birds of prey and Burgerville’s mobile food wagon will be on hand.

• Families can learn to paddle a big canoe or kayak.
• Participants can learn about archery, disc golf, Dutch oven cooking and orienteering.
• Workshops on gardening and caring for wooden lawn furniture will be available for those who want to go outside, but stick closer to home.
