Big Shark Smile

Shark Week was something my sister and I always looked forward to in the summers.  The teeth, the divers in cages . . . it was all so terrifyingly exciting!  If you're looking for fin-tastic thrills this summer, mark your calendar for Shark WEEKend on Saturday, July 16, 2022 at 10:30 a.m.  Feed the Shark in a fish-hurling toss game, hunt for shark teeth (yes, you get to keep some!), and identify shark species in a scavenger hunt.  You'll also make a pool noodle shark and a Great White Shark diet wheel.
