In honor of the Olympics are happening in Paris, France this summer, the Wendell Gilley Museum is sponsoring its own version of the games. Join us! There are Track-and-Field events: Can you run as fast as a crow can fly? How about a mallard? A peregrine falcon (the fastest of all the birds)? In Balance Beam find out why birds stand on one leg and find out if you can mimic a heron, owl and gull. In Rhythm Gymnastics, find out how your wingspan and wing "flaps" compare to various birds. And for Volleyball play a fish-toss game to see how successful you can be in catching fish for dinner like a bird. Participants will get a Wendell Gilley Museum "medal" to take home along with memories of a fun morning. Registration is required.
