Creepy Crawlers

Creepy Crawlers is held from 10-11:30 a.m. once a month for 2-, 3- and 4-year-olds. Each session focuses on some aspect of the natural world. Children participate in age-appropriate games, crafts, stories and other activities.

The upcoming sessions are:

Oct. 24: Whooo Likes Owls?

Programs are free for members, and a $5 per-child donation is requested of non- members.

September Art Show

Stop in any time through September to view the works of local artists, all created by participants in CCEEC’s own art classes.

Works will be on display through the end of the month, and admission is free.

Some pieces will be offered for sale, with a portion of proceeds benefiting CCEEC.

Honeybees With Cressley

Local beekeeper Monroe Cressley shares what he’s gleaned from decades of experience in keeping honeybees at 6 p.m. on Sept. 29. Cressley will update participants on colony collapse disorder and will offer advice on what anyone can do to improve habitat for bees or other pollinators.

Weather permitting, the evening will begin with a visit to CCEEC’s honeybees, housed in the Robert Ashmore Memorial Hives.

Art Class with Jean Perry

An art class with Jean Perry will take place from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The subject is coyotes.

Our area’s coyotes, year-round residents that wander around woods, fields, and towns, are larger than their Western cousins.

Taxidermied specimens, hides, and skulls will help inspire participants as they capture these nocturnal animals in watercolor on paper, with help from the instructor.

All materials supplied for a $20 fee. No children, please.
