Sock moccasin event planned at Poverty Point

Take a pair of tube socks and use them to make your own moccasins from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. May 4 under the picnic pavilion at Poverty Point World Historic Site.

This program is for children age 6-12 years of age. The socks and trim will be supplied, and you supply the creative ideas – choose the colors to go on your moccasins or put ribbons on them. Take advantage of this family day at Poverty Point World Heritage Site and bring a picnic lunch to enjoy while visiting the site.
