Program Description
Event Details
At Adamstown Grove. Please note that access to the pavilion at Adamstown Grove is not paved.
Finding a dinosaur may be accomplished by one person but, getting a dinosaur out of the ground is always a team effort. All the different skills that come together on a paleontological dig will be showcased. Audience members will experience the thrill of digging up a real Triceratops dinosaur bone and then help construct a dinosaur on a large cut-out.
The show will feature the skull of an Albertosaurus named Elvis and explore the characteristics of this dinosaur. The program will include audience participation, a touch of magic, show and tell with real fossils and the mystery fossil game show will round out the program.
Suitable for all ages, especially children & tweens grades K-8.

Roberta self-published her first children’s book, Roberta’s Wonderful Dinosaur Adventure. They are both excited to share their love of dinosaurs with libraries this summer.
