<p class="MsoNormal">Whether they creep you out, you are fascinated by them, or somewhere in between, you’re sure to learn something new about reptiles this summer at the Vernon Museum. Stuart Brown of the Bug Guys is returning for his ninth summer with his
“All Things Reptiles” presentation. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Armed with a selection of live reptiles, including snakes, lizards, turtles and frogs, from his large collection, Stuart will share reptile facts, dispel myths and misconceptions, and answer questions. “The self-educated reptile enthusiast’s
talk is always enjoyed by the young and the young at heart alike. However, the talk is geared towards ages seven and up. With his wealth of knowledge you are sure to leave with a better understanding and an appreciation for these incredible creatures” added
Denise Marsh, Marketing & Communications Coordinator. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Following the presentation, audience members have the opportunity to hold and take photos with Lumin, Stuart’s Dumeril’s Boa. Desiree Pat will also have her bearded dragon on hand to snap a photograph with. Don’t forget to bring your
camera or phone!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Choose from two dates, either Saturday July 14<sup>th</sup> or Saturday August 11<sup>th</sup>, from 10:30am-12:00pm. As space is limited and Stuart’s Reptiles shows are always popular, you are encouraged to purchase your tickets early,
to avoid disappointment. Tickets are $5.00/person available at the museum. For more information please call (250) 542-3142 or visit
