While rain caused the April 22nd Earth Day Festival to be moved indoors ...

While rain caused the April 22nd Earth Day Festival to be moved indoors, it didn't damper the festivities! The event offered a day full of games, crafts and activities for children and adults, ranging from environment friendly balloon animals to a virtual reality experience to live music and much more. The museum also served as a satellite host of the worldwide March for Science initiative to bring attention to the importance of science to the human race. Over 60 people participated in the Martinsville-based march, with over 40,000 participating in the headline march in Washington, D.C. The museum's Dr. Alex Hastings, assistant curator of paleontology, and Katie Hastings, museum educator, participated in the Washington, D.C. march, and sent us multiple photos of the festivities in our nation's capital!
