The tent will be in Princeton from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. June 4, July 2, Aug. 20, Sept. 3 and Oct. 15.

Activities will include decorating market bags, creating pocket greenhouses, exploring bee pollination, making sun catchers and completing a pumpkin plate lacing craft.

Extension offices are located in Princeton, Ottawa, Henry and on the IVCC campus in Oglesby.
