Featuring birds, butterflies and bugs with the experts who study and protect them. Butterfly nets, a station for identifying and releasing the winged beauties plus big bug games and an observation bee hive are on the agenda.

Runs from 9am - 2pm on Saturday. My 5-year old had a blast at the previous events and is looking forward to this one. It's a great time, if you can stand the heat. But you can get a break from the heat by touring (for free) the indoor Ag Museum.
