RaptorCenter_Newsflash

June 3, 10:00 a.m. - Blackland Prairie Raptor Center. 

Blackland Prairie Raptor Center will provide a live presentation introducing children to the world of raptors. These hawks, owls and falcons are well trained and an important part of our environment. Discover their roles in the food chain, adaptations to hunt in woodland, wetlands and prairies, and watch as they demonstrate their unique capabilities. 

Located in Prather Park. Corner of Euclid and Drexel. No registration required. 
In the event of inclement weather, the show will be canceled.

June 17, 10:00 a.m. - Professor Pop's Bubble Show and Mr. Mural's Kids Zone

Professor Pop will present a whole show full of bubble tricks. There will be bubbles inside bubbles, square bubbles, giant bubbles, bubble-themed magic tricks, and more! Express your creativity in Mr. Mural’s Kids Zone immediately after the Bubble Show. Let’s make some art in the park! 

Located in Prather Park. Corner of Euclid and Drexel. No registration required. 
In the event of inclement weather, the show will be canceled. 

Be sure to visit the Library this summer to see original artwork from Mr. Mural as part of the special Sea Voyage transformation for the Children’s Room.
