The free event at DeKorte Park in Lyndhurst  runs from from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The day includes butterfly walks, talks, onsite experts to help identify the various butterflies, free milkweed plants (while supplies last) and  activities for children, including a scavenger hunt, face painting, and a butterfly costume contest for those 12 and under. The forecast looks great too! Hope to see you on Sunday.
