The public is invited to celebrate the holidays with the animals and staff of the Audubon Center and Sanctuary.
On Friday from 10 a.m. to noon, those attending can meet some Audubon animals up close during a live animal presentation at Christmas with the Critters. Audubon staff will bring some of the animals out to meet people. Activities will include making a gift for the animals, reading a story and opening some of the animals' presents.
Admission is $7 a person or $5 for Friends of the Nature Center. People can also take a gift tag from the Giving Tree that stands in the lobby of the Nature Center building, purchase the item and bring it back as admission. Those who can't attend the event can place a gift under the tree beforehand.
