Dino Day
Saturday, July 27th
9:00am-12:00pm
This is a fun event for younger kids to learn about prehistoric Iowa through hands-on activities, including a fossil dig, fossil making, dinosaur building, and ice picking for fossils. The event will feature local artist, John Mundt, who will draw dinosaurs from 10-noon for kids to take home. Drawings will be available to purchase for $2. The event will also feature an “Ask Phil” station where kids and adults can bring fossils and rocks in for local geologist, Phil Burgess to identify. Phil will also bring his dinosaur fossils and talk about the prehistoric geology of Iowa.
This event is free and open to the public and donations are appreciated. Friends of the Marquette Driftless Area sponsors this event. Stations will be set up for the duration of the three hours, so arrive any time.
