In celebration of Third Friday, The Center has invited Sweetbriar Nature Center to bring some of their birds and other animals to visit our scenic backyard from 6pm - 7pm. Staff from Sweetbriar will educate guests about the animals that they will be bringing along with them. Guests of all ages will have the opportunity to see the animals up close and maybe even pet a select few! The event is free and open to the public. This event will take place in The Reboli Center backyard, weather permitting. Guests are encouraged to bring a blankets to sit on. In the event of rain the event will take place inside of the Reboli Center.
