Creepy and Crawly: Kids flocked to Hawthorn Park's Burkeybyle Shelter and Ampitheater for a special day of creepy crawly fun. Bugs, snakes, lizards, and even a couple more cuddly animals were on display for people to come see and pet. From hissing cockroaches to a tortise named Speedy, the Creepy Crawly Fest had it all. The goal of the get together is not to gross anyone out but to show that the snakes, arachnids, and insects can be friendly too. If you missed the fun this year it is an event that is held during the summer every year.
