    North Chagrin Reservation features many great activities during the
    evening hours.



     



    And, when the sun sets and it is good and dark, visitors can
    bring lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy an outdoor movie featuring
    many nocturnal animals with the "Legend of the Guardians"
    movie at approximately 9 p.m. on the nature center's lawn.



     



    From 5 to 9 p.m. visitors can enjoy a variety of activities
    related to the night, including live nocturnal animal programs, a
    'nighttime animal' maze, songs and stories, a shadow puppet
    program, and children's crafts.

    This year's featured movie connects the nocturnal theme with the
    2010 movie - "Legend of the Guardians."



    "Legend of the Guardians" - Soren, a young barn
    owl, is kidnapped by owls of St. Aggie's, ostensibly an orphanage,
    where owlets are brainwashed into becoming soldiers. He and his new
    friends escape to the island of Ga'Hoole, to assist the noble, wise
    owls who fight the army being created by the wicked rulers of St.
    Aggie's.



     



    NorthChagrinNatureCenter is located off Buttermilk Falls
    Parkway, off the Sunset Lane entrance of North Chagrin Reservation,
    off SOM Center Road/Route 91 in MayfieldVillage - south of the
    I-90/Rte. 91 exit.



     



    For more information, call 440-473-3370 or visit

    naturally!
