Mark your calendars! This is your chance to attend the annual Spring Fling and Easter Things event on Saturday, April 12th from 11:00 am until 2:00 pm. All three hours will be jam-packed with lots of family fun, and admission to the event is by donation.

The Barnyard Party Animals are back this year, bringing along cute and friendly bunnies, ducks, chicks, and hedgehogs to name a few. Their indoor petting zoo will be located in the museum’s Rotary Gallery on the main floor.

The wonderful Face Painting by Amy Louise is returning by popular request. The fee will be $5 cash per face.

Encore, encore! The museum welcomes back Mr. Day and his puppets for another set of live performances. His four fun shows will begin at 11:30 am, 12:00 pm, 12:30 pm, and 1:00 pm.

Meanwhile, you can enter to win door prizes, play a bird nest hunt, and enter to win a jar of candy by guessing how many are inside. The Easter Elasmosaur mascot will be handing out delicious treats and posing for photos throughout the event, so keep your eyes out for a familiar fossil. We’ll see you there!
