Not letting recent cold, rainy weather dampen its spirits, the nonprofit Youth Science Institute is offering two classes at its Vasona Park Nature Center perfect for the upcoming wet and sometimes messy season. Old clothes are a good idea for this class, which runs thru Dec. 9. Session days and times vary, depending on participants' age groups.
Classes are open to kids from pre-kindergarten through third grade.
The Wild Bird Center in the Kings Court Shopping Center also offers young people and animals a chance to meet and greet each other. All supplies are included for making these edible avian abodes. Last year's classes filled quickly, so call 408.358.WILD to reserve a spot. Finally, hungry humans should take note that the last of the Bistro Supper Trio at Mirassou Champagne Cellars in Los Gatos takes place Dec. 12. And yes, reservations are a must.
