Yuck Day

Saturday October 25, 2008

 
The theme of the 8th annual Yuck Day was "Magic is Everywhere." Naturalists from the New Canaan Nature Center brought a barred owl and other animals like in the "Harry Potter" books, and helped children create their own magic wands to make "snow" and a magic stretchy substance. Nisan the Magic Genie used many audience volunteers to assist in his fun magic show. Earthplace naturalists, volunteers and Junior Staff offered yucky exhibits to examine and crafts to create. Guests explored the interactive exhibits in Natureplace, looked at the resident Earthplace animals, and admired the photos on exhibit from the Norwalk Camera Club's photo contest.
