Turtle Party!!

Although he doesn't look a day over 85, Gus the beloved turtle is marking his 90th birthday this weekend, and it looks like we're all invited. A party at his place is always good news, considering he lives at the Museum of Natural History - one of the coolest places to visit in our fair Halifax. 

Here's what's in store for Saturday at the Museum of Natural History: 

10:00 am - Live Animal Show with special guests Little Ray's Reptile Show

10:30 am - Kids in Space program on Science on a Sphere

11:00 am - Birthday wishes and cupcakes
1:30 pm - Bees!

2:00 pm - Book Reading and Launch of the new Nimbus book "Gus the Tortoise takes a walk".
2:30 pm - Birthday wishes, Cake and Refreshments
3:00 pm - Special Gus Walk
4:00 pm - Live Animal Show with special guests Little Ray's Reptile Show

Check out their website for more info on the museum, and the turtle festivities :)

  Here are a few folk wood carvings crafted by the wonderful Basil Doucette, with balloons dedicated to friendly ol' Gus.

We also just received a flock of little wooden birds, carved by Basil. They're beautiful little keepsakes, priced at $18. What a Steal!
