Submitted by Amy Sollock

Come fly with us! It’s time to get registered for the 26th Kansas 4-H Insect Spectacular, which will be held Friday and Saturday June 22nd and 23rd. The event will take place at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita, Kansas. Learn about collecting, storing, identifying, and pinning your insects for exhibit. All levels of experience are encouraged to attend, from beginning to advanced. This is a fun event, designed to encourage curiosity and the sharing of knowledge. This year’s event will feature several sessions specifically on Lepidoptera, otherwise known as butterflies! The workshop is open to all youth and adult volunteers interested in 4-H entomology. One parent from each family must register and attend with children.

The $65 registration fee includes lunch and snack Saturday, bottled water, class materials, t-shirt and handouts. Younger siblings under 4-H age, spouses, etc. that may be coming along, but not participating in the classes will need to pay a fee of $20.00. This will pay for the meal and snack Saturday, but does not include a shirt. Registration closes June 1st.  For more event details and to register, please visit: http://www.kansas4-h.org/events-activities/conferences-events/insect-spectacular/index.html
