Zima! Returns
Zima! — an interactive outdoor scavenger hunt created by the Neo-Political Cowgirls — will take place at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge on Sunday from 1 to 3 p.m. Premiered at Pussy’s Pond in Springs in 2012 and most recently held in Montauk, Zima! sends participants in search of wild characters hidden in the landscape who will provide clues to the solution of a mystery. Scavengers can set off between 1 and 2 p.m.
Warm drinks and cookies will be offered in the Nature Center. Tickets, which are available at npcowgirls.org, are $25, $15 for those under 18. Proceeds will be shared by the wildlife refuge and the Neo-Political Cowgirls, a nonprofit dance theater company founded and directed by Kate Mueth and dedicated to exploring and celebrating the female voice.
(Update: Due to anticipated inclement weather, Zima! has been rescheduled to March 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. Tickets to Sunday's program will be honored at that time. Those unable to attend the March 24 show can obtain a refund by pressing the contact link at musae.me/npc/experiences/570/zima!)
