Join us for our 5th annual Bat Fest! From pollinating to pest control, bats play an important role in keeping our ecosystems healthy. Learn about local bat species and current conservation efforts to help stop the decline of bat populations. There will be fun bat-themed activities and crafts for the kids, story time, food trucks, and a blood drive with Gulf Coast Regional Blood Center. This family-friendly event is free and open to the public.
Want more bat-themed fun in your life? Join us Saturday, September 12 for Going Batty, a fun event complete with a bat expert and adult beverages.
