NEWS FROM THE JUICE BOX SET
Something Old, Something New; As spring
beckons with warm days and lingering sunlight
•in the evenings, it seems a shame to keep the
kids cooped up inside. So, where do I end up .
this past month with my 4-year-old? Inside, at
the Georgia Museum of Natural History.
I know, if s a great time of year to work on
that farmers tan. But as it turns out, looking
at the myriad fauna of the Southeast, lovingly
Preserved and labeled for future generations,
can be a nice alternative to heading to or.e of
our many parks.
Stay with me here. I'm a big believer in
letting kids explore outside. But for the most
part that kind of exploring will get you some
worms, some beetles and maybe a grub or
two. (Or, in the case of my neighborhood,
lubbers and kudzu bugs.) Which is why I was
curious about the Georgia Museum .of Natural
History. Located in a brick wing of UGA's
Natural History/Statistics building at East
Campus Road and Cedar Street it's the keeper
of preserved birds, mammals and insects pri
marily from the Southeast, but also includes
some rare and exotic spedmens from around
the world. i
my daughter's reaction. We easily spent 45
minutes with each collection, and while my
4-year-old couldn't touch the things McGhee
or Smith pulled out of the array of draw
ers, she didn't seem to mind. Instead, it had
her thinking of different types of animals or
insects, then following the curators to see
them in person. It's not often you can keep a
child occupied—and not wanting to leave—
after more than an hour in a room filled with
cabinets.
There is parking available in the green
spaces near the building; it's open by appoint
ment only 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday,
but visitors are welcome for tours without
appointments from noon-3 p.m. Saturdays—
call (706) 542-1663.
Very Berries: Eventually, you'll want to take all
your children's newfound knowledge outside,
and luckily there are several events coming
up that celebrate nature and the outdoors.
Washington Farms in Watkinsville will hold
its second annual Strawberry Festival from 9
a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, Apr. 28. It's similar to
what they do there in the fall, only without
Sofia Morales, 4, whispers secrets to com snakes Fred and Freckles at the Georgia Museum of Natural History.
Helping lead your child down a path of scientific study rather than journalism? Five pinned-up moths out of five.
Let's be clear, we're talking dead things.
But they're coot dead things, often set up
in a "study skin* pose or mounted on a foam
board with documentation such as where
and when the animal was found (example:
on a rural highway in Kentucky in 1954), the
contents of its stomach (bugs or other ani
mals) and the situation that led to it being
collected and preserved (often a scientist on
a field expedition). In the lobby, there are
two aquariums housing the only live animals
among the specimens: com snakes and gray
tree frogs.
Beyond there, you enter two worlds: one
of reptiles, amphibians and fish and another
of insects and invertebrates. McGhee is more
than happy to open cabinet doors on the
first floor and show visitors preserved birds,
bats, fox squirrets or opossums. Upstairs, Cecil
Smith is the associate curator and collec
tions manager for the entomology collections:
moths, beettes, spiders, butterflies and m’ore.
AU together, there are more than 1.5 million
pieces in the museum's collections, with many
thousands more still being cataloged.
Sure, the endless bugs and animals are
fascinating. But what had me captivated was
the pumpkins; instead, there's a tennis ball
slingshot and a host of other kid-friendly
events, plus live music and a strawberry cook
off.
We Like Bikes: There are plenty of kid-centric
activities associated with the Twilight
Criterium this weekend, too. Be sure to take
a close look at the schedule of Twilight events
on p. 13.
Springtime in Winterville: The kids can also
catch live music at the Winterville Marigold
Festival next month. It's regained its footing
after taking a hiatus for a few years, now fully
embracing its small-town festival roots. And
because so many talented musicians now call
Winterville home, the music lineup may rival
AthFest in terms of local talent (actually, last
year several artists who played at AthFest also
played at the Marigold festival, from what the
mayor tells me). The festival kicks off at 8
a.m. on May 19 at Pittard Park. Get details as
they're finalized at www.dtyofwinterville.com/
marigold.
