MONARCH MANIA
Monarch Mania was more fun than I ever dreamed even though rain swept us into the Cobb Island Firehouse instead of Old Fisherman's field. John and I helped "kids of all ages" make Monarch butterfly nose masks and I signed my books. It was a great event for families. Everyone learned how to tag Monarch butterflies to help track them during their amazing migration! Mike Callahan released the tagged butterflies the following day when the sun came out again!

Autographed copies of my books were available.
