Snack and Learn Badger Talk: Dino-Bird Evolution
Saturday October 3rd, 11 am
Birds have captured every corner of our planet. Long before modern birds appeared, some dinosaurs started to show feathers rather than scales. With the help of powerful X-rays, we are trying to disentangle the chemical remains in some of the most iconic dino-bird fossils, including the famous Archaeopteryx, and what we can learn about the life of these amazing creatures.

Waupaca Now Has Four Story Walks!
Reading while hiking can be fun, and the Waupaca Area Public Library is happy to announce that we have four Story Walks to choose from. All are on Waupaca’s beautiful River Ridge Trail.
- Find a Story Walk at Waupaca’s Eco Park! Head into the park to the end of the driveway to find the start of the trail.
- For the hike near Sunny Day Child Care, park near Sunny Day on Godfrey Drive and walk down the path that leads betweeen the daycare and the clinic.
- Swan Park’s Story Walk starts to the south of the sledding hill.
- On the nature trail behind the Chain Exploration Center. Watch for signs leading the way.
Thanks to Waupaca Park & Rec Dept., Sunny Day, and the Waupaca School District for their partnership on this adventure. See attachments for maps of some Story Walks.
