SPRING FEST THIS SUNDAY

May 5
Noon till 4 PM

Join us this Sunday for a day of family-oriented fun at Charlotte's Quest. The day is packed with activities that are not only fun, but also provide a time of learning. Families may enjoy helping retired archaeologist Stephen Israel as he continues his investigation of Pine Valley Park. Artifacts from the Hunters & Gatherers Period have been excavated here in the past five years. Come and see what you may discover.

There is no fee to enter, however, select activities may require an insignificantly small charge. Delicious foods to be offered by Power Take-Off 4H Club. A petting zoo and pony rides available through High Ridge 4H Club. The price of the refreshments and the pony rides benefit our partner organizations that have generously provided their services for our event. Kids Corral, an area with a moon bounce, obstacle course, games, crafts and a photo opportunity; chance games; nature crafts; and a raffle support the center's teaching efforts.

Also on hand are local organizations sharing how they benefit our community. Visit with the Carroll County Rabbit & Cavy Club's rabbits as they jump hurdles on command. See Maryland Quality Deer Management and learn about the whitetail deer in our area. Have you gazed at a giant tortoise? Visit with Reptile Wonders: Nature Center on the Go. Girl Scout Troop 2500 is offering an informative interactive wildlife puppet demonstration in "Enchanted Forest." This is by no means an exhausted list. Plan to spend the afternoon with us to learn more about your local nature center and have fun in the great outdoors.
