    on a slightly related note, the cascades library will have a special reptiles alive program 2:30-3:30 today- it's free (but tickets are necessary)! tickets are available at 2pm. wish we could go but can't- thought others might enjoy it. the libraries have great free programs all summer long.

    Our family really enjoyed the Raptor program also. We feel very lucky and grateful to have such interesting and worthwhile programs right here in our own backyard. Thanks so much!

    We showed up for the program tonight but nobody was there. Was there notice of cancellation somewhere that I missed? I looked for it, but couldn't find anything.

    Sorry about the inconvenience. The program was canceled due to the conflict with the Swim Team's event which we thought will effect the turn out greatly. This was discovered recently.

    Our program will be re-scheduled in September. We will announce the date soon.

    Again, sorry for not posting the cancellation here.
