Reedville Fishermen’s Museum ushers in their 2010 season with the celebration of Family Day on Saturday, March 13. This year’s theme is “Animals of the Chesapeake”. The Museum is collaborating with several local organizations, including the Virginia Wildlife Center, Northern Neck Kennel Club, Northern Neck Bee Keeping Club and Animal Conservation, to provide an engaging program for kids of all ages.
The Virginia Wildlife Center of Waynesboro will present two shows at Family Day, featuring a reptile, raptor and a mammal. The Wildlife Center provides continuing education training for wildlife rehabilitators and these shows are an extension of their services. Shows will be held at noon and at 2:00 pm.
Northern Neck Kennel Club will provide obedience training demonstrations and answer questions from pet owners and those who are curious about our furry friends. The Kennel Club provides a wide range of programs and courses that benefit both our human and canine communities.
Bees will be buzzing around Dave Canby of the Northern Neck Bee Club. Family Day will also showcase the work of Bill Gimble, an entomologist, and his collection of insects… some live! Northumberland Animal Conservation Officer, Ken Williams will share displays on local wildlife and conservation.
Family Day will feature these guests and exhibit interactive stations for family discovery at every turn. In addition, the Claud Sommers and the Elva C will be available for on board tours.
Join us at the Museum for Family Day from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM, Saturday, March 13. Festival Halle host their Winter Market on the same day, so Reedville will have something for everyone! Admission for children 12 and under are free. Adults $3.00. For further information, contact 804-453-6529 or www.rfmuseum.org.
