UPCOMING EVENTS

ART ON THE BOARDWALK

Celebrate our Newest Boardwalk Section

Thanks to our generous donors and team of hardworking volunteers, our newest ADA boardwalk section is ready for you to enjoy.  Starting off a new parking area, this section will take you close to Four Mile Creek and offers plenty of space for enjoying the views.

Make Art in Nature

Create art in the media of your choice.  Paint, draw and sketch the trees, native plants or creatures-the ones you see or imagine!  Craft a poem or add a line to a community poem.  Enhance your photography.   Get tips from Miami University Professor of Photography, Ron Stevens at 2pm and again at 4pm in the parking area on the Shadowy Hills side.


All artists are encouraged to upload your creations into our community album.


Remember to bring your supplies!

Lunar Feasts


Lunar Feasts Will Continue in 2025. In 2024, several members provided lunar feasts. These dinners, scheduled around full moons, were a big hit. They were a great way to get a few people together for a dinner party and to support 3VCT in the process was a lot of fun.


We will continue these small get togethers in 2025.  If you'd like to host a dinner and collect a few donations for 3VCT for your hospitality, please let us know! It's simple - invite whomever you want and ask if they might make a donation of their choosing to 3VCT. If you'd like to enjoy someone else’s dinner, let us know that, too! To get into the loop, email donnamccollum@me.com
