Snakes n Scales and Turtle Tales-
FISH TALES AND OCEAN ODDBALLS - This show will be presented over the course of an hour using our brand of jokes, stories and “animals’ eye views discussing what it’s like to live in the water, how these animals find food and avoid becoming food. This show will look at these incredible creatures in a fun hands-on, very interactive way to find the fun facts about these wonderful denizens of the deep and shallows.
THE GREAT REPTILES - This show brings the biggest reptiles in any show within 100 miles, truly our WOW show. It also usually brings our herpetologist, and founder Bill Boesenberg himself to your event. The “WOW” can come from watching a nearly 100 lb America Alligator, “Blue,” sit in Bill’s lap, like a great black puppy; or from a 6 ft Water Monitor Lizard, “Elizardbeth,” hangout and sniff the air with her foot long tongue, while everyone laughs at the story of how she came to us; or you might be “Wowed” by getting to touch the gentle beautiful giant, Hernia,” a 100 lb Burmese Python. Show attendants will learn and be amazed with a combination of humor, awe and compassion for creatures, to which few, ever get close.
—Snakes n Scales and Turtle Tales / TBD / Saturday Morning
Children’s Nature Walk-
• A guided walk around the beautiful grounds of Netimus to enjoy the native flora and fauna.
Thor Blot (geared towards adults and children)-
• This will be a blot to honor Thor but with several of the roles used in the ceremony being handled by children. Children are the future of our religion and it is invaluable and necessary to expose them to the beliefs and rituals of our faith. This will be done in a meaningful and significant fashion in order to honor the Gods with the reverence they are due and adults and children alike are welcome and should find this blot meaningful.
