Wow, what a busy week we had with Fossil Fest, our final story time of the summer, and the Dino Egg Hunts! What a blast! As things slow down this week, we wanted to take a moment to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make last week’s events so special.

A big shoutout to Ian Trevethan from the Sternberg Museum for that awesome presentation on fossils and the world of paleontology! We truly appreciate the extra time you spent chatting with everyone and answering questions.

A heartfelt thank you to Cooks Home & Auto for donating sand for our dig sites at Fossil Fest!

And we can't forget our amazing volunteers who worked hard to fill and hide all those eggs for the Dino Egg Hunt—you're the best!

Thanks to all the local businesses that contributed coupons, gift cards, and those adorable wooden dinosaur cutouts for the eggs. Your support made a huge difference! Dream Theatre, Simply Brew, USA Express, The Closet Boutique, and McDonald's

We’re so grateful for everyone who came together to make last week a fantastic success. We appreciate you all so much!
