Schedule for Family Fun Fridays:

Pollinators, 1 PM on Friday, June 11th: Who are our pollinator friends? What makes a good habitat for them? Lucinda Mays, public horticulturalist and Grounds Supervisor at Chadron State College, will show you how to make a welcoming spot. Hear a story, make a pot, and take home a plant of your own!

Insect Extravaganza, 1 PM on Friday, June 18th: Be a citizen science superhero and help NASA monitor potential mosquito habitat with the GLOBE Observer project. Activities include a game, and an opportunity to interact with biologist and insect specialist Dr. Mat Brust from Chadron State College so bring your questions and your insect friends too. Participants will receive a GLOBE mosquito mapper kit that includes a guide, stickers, and an active eye Universal Mobile Phone Microscope (while supplies last). 

The Genius of Birds 1 PM on Friday, June 25th: It turns out that bird brains are pretty smart. Learn about our feathered friends, play a game and make a bird feeder to take home! Check out our display of birding guides and nature books too.
