15th Celebration
of DSP Day 2011
The weather was perfect for the thousands who visited the park on August 20. This year was the 15th celebration of the discovery of dinosaur tracks that occurred 45 years ago. Children, parents, and grandchildren joined in the fun playing games, winning prizes, experimenting with arts and crafts, listening to live music, enjoying good food, watching live animal shows, and visiting the indoor and outdoor features of the park.Programs included a “Snakes Alive!” show presented by Jay Kaplan from Roaring Brook Nature Center and a Birds of Prey program presented by “A Place Called Hope."
All outdoor activities were free, except for the Mining Sluice, which had a materials' fee. Additional programs were scheduled in the Exhibit Center. Events, prizes, and refreshments for our volunteers were funded by the FDPA and our sponsors:
