Parks and Recreation

Join us for creepy crawly encounters at the Sandy Community Center this October! Get up close and personal with fascinating critters (like roaches, crickets, worms, flies, and more!!), learn about their incredible roles in our ecosystem, and get tips if you want to raise them in your own home! Not all bugs may be touched or held, but there will be a whole lot to see and learn 

All ages are welcome (it's a very fun and FREE event for children and adults alike!)
