Best Bets: For Goodness Snakes!

The Cedar Rapids Museum of Art needs help in saying goodbye to the animals in the exhibition, 'If We Ran the Zoo: Animals in Children's Book Illustrations.” The main-floor exhibit closes Sunday (1/13), but on Saturday, the museum is becoming a zoo of sorts, hosting a reptile party. Wickiup Hill Outdoor Learning Center is bringing to the museum live snakes and turtles native to Iowa. Party participants are invited to not only develop an awareness and admiration for nature's scaly critters, but find out more about Wickiup Hill's mission to help save the world's reptiles.
