Experience the park after dark at Cleveland
Metroparks free �Nature at Night� event on Saturday, July 14 from 5
to 11 p.m. at North Chagrin Nature Center in North Chagrin
Reservation in Mayfield Village.
�Nature at Night� is an evening-long celebration of the beauty
and mystery of nature at night. Visitors can enjoy a variety
of free activities related to the nighttime, including live
nocturnal animal programs, star gazing through telescopes (weather
permitting), self-guided nature night stations, a starlab, a puppet
theater and crafts, other children's crafts, and more!
With the help of the Cuyahoga Astronomical Association and their
telescopes, visitors can view stars, constellations and Saturn.
The self-guided night stations feature bats, spiders,
amphibians, and more. Each station will have a volunteer
presenting how and why the animals enjoy the nighttime.
And, as the sun sets (approximately 9 p.m.), be sure to bring
lawn chairs/blankets to enjoy an outdoor movie on the lawn of the
nature center - this year featuring �Yogi Bear.�
Yogi Bear - Jellystone Park has been a losing business,
so conniving Mayor Brown has decided to shut it down and sell the
land. Faced with the loss of his home, Yogi mist prove he is
really �smarter than the average bear� as he and Boo-Boo join
forces with Ranger Smith to find a way to save the park from
closing forever.
Refreshments will also be available, and adults, ages 21 and
over, can purchase beer in the �Beer Garden.�
Visitors can browse the great merchandise selections of
EarthWords Nature Shop, too.
