Families and friends enjoyed a fun pasta dinner, donated by John's Best Pizza Restaurant. Linda Roberts, Director of Animal Rehabilitation and Care, introduced the 2005 Junior Curators, a group of 4th through 6th grade students who recently finished an after-school study of animal care.  The Junior Curators gave a special program to introduce guests to many of the Earthplace teaching animals.  Everyone learned about a corn snake, boa constrictor, turkey vulture, rabbits, guinea pig, turtles, ring-necked doves, ferrets and Madagascar hissing cockroaches.
