Winter Solstice Lantern Walk, Topsfield Don’t think of it as the shortest day of the year; think of it as the longest night. Come celebrate with Mass Audubon at the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary’s first annual Winter Solstice Lantern Walk. No lantern? No problem. The event begins with creating your own wind-proof lantern constructed with glass jars, colored paper, and florist wire.
“We’ll gather in the barn and talk about why it’s dark on this night,’’ said Kim LoGrasso, youth education manager. “We’ll bring together folklore stories and science stories and then go out in groups along the trail.’’
