Have you heard who’s coming to the Creemore Children’s Festival on Saturday, August 2?
Parts of a mastadon will be included in the interactive “Discover the Weird and Wonderful” display hosted by the Creemore Log Cabin and the Simcoe County Museum. Check out the Museum’s mystery items or bring your own locally found treasures for identification between 10 am and 4 pm.
At the same time, the Clearview Public Library will host the Reptilia Zoo Truck just outside the Creemore branch. Two zookeepers will present shows on the hour, as well as informal meet-and-greet sessions with a wide variety of reptiles. Inside the library, our summer students and Miss Margie from Ontario Early Years will be crafting with Ooey Gooey Slime and other messy ingredients. We also have quiet space with air conditioning and clean bathrooms if you need a break from all the action.
Down at North America’s “smallest” jail, we have some extra special guests to visit with: Rosemary and her horse from Roseview Farms.
Did you know that the first prisoner in the jail was a black cow? On Saturday, take a Kodak moment with “Flossie,” our cardboard cow with a cut-out for a child’s face.
Let the fun begin – rain or shine – and we look forward to seeing you at the Library, the Log Cabin and the Jail during the Children’s Festival!
