What do you call a snake that eats too much dessert? A pie-thon! Penny, our resident ball python, doesn’t eat pie, but she does eat a lot of mice! Learn about all our resident animals and get to meet them up close in a live feeding program. While they are enjoying their piled-up plates, we will relish in our own small-plate feast. Registration required by Thursday, Nov. 19: 815-722-9879.

TIME: 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
