Ansonia Nature Center to hold 'creature parade' Saturday

ANSONIA - Meet the Ansonia Nature Center’s resident animals from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday.

Each animal will get its own 20-minute spotlight. 
Pet a snake, hold a dove, and high-five a tarantula, all during our animal extravaganza!

Have you ever wondered why Quincy has five legs or how old Babe the Red Tailed Boa is? 
All of these questions, and more, will be answered.

Bathrooms will be open to the public, but admission into the Nature Center building during the Creature Parade will be $6 per person or $15 per family. 

Tickets will be sold at the door. Re-entry is allowed, but have your ticket handy.
This event will raise money for care of the animals.

The nature center is at 10 Deerfield Road.
