Leftovers
At 6 p.m. on Nov. 30, the center will host a special leftover event.
Spend a post-Thanksgiving evening learning avian anatomy from your dinner leftovers. Chief Naturalist Susan Gallagher leads an exploration into bones and muscles, conducts some fun experiments, and answers that burning question: What’s in a giblet bag?
Participants are encouraged, though not required, to bring their own leftover turkeys.
The program is free for children and CCEEC members, with a $5 donation per adult requested of nonmembers.

After a brief discussion about the colorful and flowing piece, artists will follow up with their own painting skills, guided by instructor.
