About the event
THIS UNIQUE EVENT COMBINES KIDS’ LOVE OF ANIMALS WITH SCIENCE AND WRITING!
ANIMALS!
What kid can resist cuddling a sloth or touching a real live lizard?! On Saturday, November 16 from 2pm – 4pm, Lena the Lizard Lady brings her exotic menagerie to the Elizabethtown Social Center, where kids can hang out with an astonishing assortment of lizards, snakes and Lena’s lovable sloths. Lena takes her animal crew to many schools and kids’ events around the North Country.
WRITING!
Alongside Lena, award-winning children’s book author Linda Marshall will be on hand to guide kids in writing poems, cartoons and short stories inspired by the animals. Or kids can illustrate her not-yet-published children’s book! She will adjust writing prompts to accommodate all ages. Art materials will be available for illustrating. And we will post the results on a Social Center website!
