Mr. Caleb brought us our first 'critter' for display at the fair next week! Everyone meet 'Bow'!!!! He/she looks to be freshly hatched. How big will he be by next Wed?!!!!!!

He's probably heading to the Mighty Howard County Fair! AS we near the fair keep your eyes open for critters we can add to our display of Iowa wildlife! We'll be hitting Vernon Springs for fish, but we need turtles, snakes, toads, frogs, crawfish, a monarch caterpillar or chrysalis would be awesome too!! Give us shout if you have something and we'll always return things back to mother nature that last Sunday of Fair!

The CWC newsletter is late this month, our apologies. One item of note that was discussed at last month's meeting was set-up for fair week.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
Tomorrow (Sunday) at 5pm club members will be setting up aquariums at the clubhouse on the fairgrounds, and we need people to help carry the aquariums from the back to the front. They will then be leveled out and, water pipes placed and filled with water to get them ready for live fish next week!!

Other jobs that need to be done this week: -washing of the walls and dusting of the taxidermy displays.
-sweeping off the concrete outside
-sweeping of the floors after the fish are placed before the doors open to the public.
