Children's Nature Center (CNC) by painting Isaac, their star Pig-Nosed Turtle! Part of the proceeds will be donated to the CNC. The CNC is a non-profit organization and is the only living museum within a 250-mile radius that exhibits exotic animals in naturalist habitats. The center hosts more than 120 unique creatures, ranging from 13-foot pythons to 1-inch-long dart frogs to lively stingrays. The ticket price includes admission to the center's exhibits. View and learn about the creatures from 12-1pm then sit down to your own pre-sketched canvas and paint! Everything will be supplied for you, just come, relax and paint with us! Ticket sales end July 16th so be sure to purchase your ticket before then. The CNC is located near Sears in the Mesa Mall. There is no outside entrance to the CNC so enter thru Sears and find us inside the mall. About Isaac: Center Name: Isaac Species: Pig-nosed Turtle Conservation Status: Vulnerable due to pet trade smuggling. Isaac is an omnivore and a unique freshwater turtle. He has the look of a marine turtle with flippers but can only stay in rivers. He can breathe air through his nose but also take it from the water with the gills he has in his throat and butt. Isaac is playful with zookeepers but a powerful beak warns against visitors sticking fingers in his tank. However, he does like attention from visitors, just not in his water. He can be found at The Children's Nature Center photobombing pictures with guests. About the CNC: The Children's Nature Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that strives for education, research, and conservation. For the price of admission, a tour is taken with a biologist or volunteer who will tell you about our 150+ animal ambassadors, many of which are rescues from previous homes. The Children's Nature Center attempts to bring an interactive education of biologies, ecologies, and zoologies from around the world. We hope that you can join us for this unique experience!

CHEERS TO OUR PUBLIC LANDS!
Hike & Happy Hour

In partnership with Mesa County's Great Old

Broads for Wilderness and the Western Colorado Alliance for Community Action, we're happy to announce our second hike & happy hour of the summer! Our chosen hike is up on the Grand Mesa near Kannah Creek and is called Carson Lake Trail and our happy hour will be at Palisade Brewing Company. The plan is to meet at Palisade Brewing Company at 10 AM on Saturday and carpool to the trailhead on the Grand Mesa, which is about an hour away. We'll hike for about an hour, or longer if people want to, as this trail is only 2 miles long. After the hike, it should be about 12:30, so we can head back for happy hour at Palisade Brewing Company. If you think of any questions or want to get in touch, email me! ccgrandjunctionintern@gmail.com

Drawing inspiration from their time spent on the

road in North America and South Australia while navigating a shared journey through mortality, grief, the after-life and compassion for different perspectives, Miranda Dawn and Chris Hawkes offer what Performer Magazine deems as “songs of introspective bliss that genuinely helps the listener feel the spirit of life.” Their sound is highly intimate. The Houston Press review states Dawn & Hawkes are “outstanding musicians individually, and they are absolutely magical together. Their harmonies and chemistry speak for themselves, and audiences recognize from the first note that they are something very special.”
