Come meet Chris this weekend 🌱 🫶

Meet Turtleman!
One of our favorite stations is led by Chris “Turtleman” Adams — naturalist, historian, farmer, and folklorist.
He’ll be sharing real homesteading crafts and letting every child plant a sunflower seed in a cup to take home and grow.
This is the kind of hands-on, nature-connected learning our kids rarely get, and it’s happening right here at The Station 31072 in Pitts on May 30!
Who else is excited for this one?

THE COUNTDOWN STARTS NOW!
Less than 7 days until the 2026 Children’s & Youth Art Festival!
📅 Saturday, May 30 | 10 AM – 3 PM
📍 The Station 31072, Pitts, GA
In our rural community where art programs are missing from schools, this day means everything. Kids get to create, explore, and feel proud of what they make, and that’s exactly why The River Rat Art Project exists.
Full details and the complete activity list drop tomorrow morning.
