Cool Stuff Happening at Oxbow Meadows this Weekend in Columbus, GA!
There's no better place to get up close and personal with nature than at Oxbow Meadows Environmental Learning Center here in Columbus. Not only do they have some of the coolest critters on display, but they have a staff that works very hard to come up with really fun things to entertain...and maybe even teach us all a thing or two about the flora, fauna and creepy crawlies that live in this part of the world. This is a great weekend to head there with your family because they have their Oxbow Reading Club going on Saturday (Aug 17) at 11:00 for the younger members of your clan and then on Sunday (Aug 18), we all get to take part in their "Picnic with the Tortoises" and actually feed these prehistoric buddies some grub! If you've never seen the two big leathery terrapins up close, you're going to be amazed. And they actually move a lot faster than I thought! The other good part about these programs at Oxbow this weekend? It only costs one dollar to particiapte. Now that's a good weekend deal!
Don't forget to find out what else is happening around town by taking a look at the Event Calendar...it's a great resource to help make some weekend plans!
