Animals of Halloween: Snakes
Saturday, September 22 2pm Lowe-Volk Park Halloween is a time for “Spooky” or “Scary” animals! The snake has been labeled as one of those misunderstood “monsters”. Join Abby to learn about the folklore that causes snakes to be used during Halloween and how we can combat the myths! We encourage people with phobias to come and learn and experience a live snake to overcome their fears!
