The public is invited to a preseason celebration, “Welcome the Butterflies Back” on Memorial Day weekend.

The celebration starts Saturday and concludes on Monday.

The event runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. No reservation needed.

This is a fundraiser for Family Promise of Carbon County, which provides services to homeless families within Carbon County.

There will be crafts for the kids, live butterflies, frogs, door prizes, butterfly hatching kits, and a pollinator attracting plant sale.

On Saturday and Sunday, lunch will be available in our picnic area and CCEEC will be set up on site with live critters and hands-on educational exhibits.

The Butterfly Sanctuary’s regular season begins June 11.
