What would summer at the Vernon Museum be like without a reptiles show? Stuart Brown, a self-taught reptile enthusiast, will be returning once again for two presentations this summer.
If snakes, bearded dragons and red-eyed free frogs fascinate you, don’t miss this opportunity to get up close and personal with these scaly, cold-blooded vertebrates.
“Stuart never disappoints, and always brings a good selection of live reptiles from his large collection,” said Denise Marsh, marketing and communications coordinator for the museum.
The presentation is about 90 minutes and is appropriate for adults and children ages seven and up.
“Stuart has a wealth of knowledge. You are sure to leave with a better understanding and an appreciation for these creatures,” said Marsh.
Don’t forget to bring your camera and questions. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and possibly take your picture with one of Brown’s reptiles.
Choose from two dates, either July 29 or Aug. 26 from 10:30 a.m. to noon. As space is limited and Brown’s shows are always popular, you are encouraged to purchase your tickets early, to avoid disappointment. Tickets are $5 per person, available at the museum.
