Hope your little ones have a fun and safe Halloween!
Thanks to everyone who joined us this morning at our Harvest Halloween Party! The autumn sun was warm enough that we were able to get together outside at a park. The kids read a Halloween-themed book, made a pumpkin patch craft, and decorated trick-or-treat bags with stickers. Then we passed out candy and celebrated a birthday.
MOMS Club® of Bismarck had a wonderful tour today of the Archaeology Lab at the Heritage Center! We discovered the faunal comparative collection, and the kids were able to hold a bison femur and turtle, wolf, and rodent skeletons. Then we looked at the material collection, where we checked out obsidian (volcanic glass), Knife River Flint, and viewed the projectile point collection. We also toured the archives, where over 12 million artifacts such as pottery, various knives, and other historic materials are stored and managed.
The fall weather was perfect for a tour of Apple Creek Farm outside Bismarck today! In a close vote, the kids declared the alpacas as their favorite thing to see, followed by the chickens.

MOMS Club® of Bismarck will be busy throughout the fall! Members, please find additional details for these events in our private Facebook group.
If you’re not a member but are interested in learning more about us, we’d love to have you join us at one of our public events! Just send us an email at momsclubbismarck@gmail.com or message us through our public Facebook page to let us know you’ll be coming.
It was a beautiful morning for a story and craft! The September Kids’ Book Club & Create was held at a local park and gave kids the opportunity to make fall-themed hedgehogs. We also celebrated a birthday.
Kids’ Book Club & Create takes place once a month. Projects are designed to be quick and easy for little hands.
There’s no better way to welcome the first day of fall than a visit to Papa’s Pumpkin Patch! So excited to be back after it was closed last season due to the pandemic.

Flippers up if you’re excited about the opening of the new penguin exhibit at the Dakota Zoo! A few of our members stopped by to visit today, and their kids spoke with a local news station about the experience.
Many thanks to Lori at Roving Donkey Farm for the tour this morning! We learned about how they grow vegetables and support the Bismarck community through their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. They also sell some of their produce to local restaurants and donate it to Bismarck Public Schools.
