JBNHS ANNUAL PICNIC: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28th at KINGSTON’S HASBROUCK PARK
This will be an extra special get together to celebrate our 75th anniversary. Of course, we will have our famous raffle and delicious food from Stone Soup again and we’ll get to meet some reptiles and maybe a crocodilian too! Brian Parkhurst (Hudson Valley Reptile Rescue) and Mark Perpetua (Mark Perpetua’s Reptile Encounters) will present. This will be fun for children of all ages, so make sure to bring along children and grandkids too.
This will also be the day to pick up your commemorative garments AND the day we pick the winner of the Zeiss Terra ED 8×42 binoculars.
Don’t forget to bring items for the raffle or a divided perennial or two for swap or sale.
