Andy will be leading an amazing and interactive learning experience that is great for all ages, so come out and join us on an adventure where you are certain to learn something!
You will meet at the Big Red Barn at the Hurricane City Park at 11:00am, then the group will head back to the Meeks shelter where Andy has an assortment of fun activities planned!
