A Nature Exhibit conducted by Jerry Schudda and his Catalina Nature Program volunteers will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the HOA 1 Arts and Crafts Patio. The exhibit includes snakes of all kinds, Gila monster, and occasional other featured guests from our local critter community. There are exhibits of animal skins and other hands-on educational opportunities for kids of all ages. For more information contact Jerry at 744-4274.
A Softball Skills Clinic for kids of all ages will be hosted by the SaddleBrooke Senior Softball Association at the HOA 2 Softball Field. We’ll be hitting, throwing and running under the guidance of coaches. Come out to the ol’ ball field for a fun afternoon. Pre-teens – kids four to 12 – will start at 1:00 p.m. Teens, and even older, will start at 2:00 p.m. Kids younger than four are welcome, but they are too small to be on the field with all of the other kids so we will do some softball activities on the side with them. Of course, everyone gets ice cream! For more information contact Steve at 818-7676.
