\u201cSkull Detectives\u201d Family Fun at Rogers Center sponsored by M&T Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the third Saturday of every month, Friends of Rogers hosts \u201cFamily Fun\u201d programs designed to provide participants of all ages the opportunity to experience hands-on learning about the natural environment. Recent \u201cFamily Fun\u201d titles have included Snowy Scenes<\/em>, Winter Wanderings<\/em>, Fantastic Forests<\/em>, \u201cBed\u201d Time<\/em>, Ensuring the Future<\/em>, and Fish Prints<\/em>. In July and August, this unique educational series even went \u2018On the Road\u2019 at the Hamilton Farmer\u2019s Market.<\/p>\n

For 2018, corporate partner M&T Bank is serving as official presenting sponsor for \u2018Family Fun.\u2019 While the program had been underwritten by several organizations since its inception over five years ago, this year marks the first time that a corporate partner\u2019s financial support is sustaining an entire year of this fundamental Friends of Rogers activity.<\/p>\n

\u201cM&T Bank\u2019s generosity to Friends of Rogers and our local communities is truly inspiring,\u201d said Simon Solomon, FOR executive director. \u201cTheir leadership support ensures that Friends of Rogers is able to continue offering this free community program for the entire year. We are extremely grateful for M&T Bank\u2019s investment in our mission.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ever wanted to get inside the head of a favorite animal? Interested in learning about what makes them tick? Make no bones about it, the October Family Fun program is the perfect opportunity to discover more about the anatomy of mammals that live right in our backyard.<\/p>\n

On October 20 at 1 pm, join Friends of Rogers for \u201cSkull Detectives.\u201d By viewing skulls of animals, participants will learn to notice each one\u2019s unique characteristics. Once visitors discover these features, they will be able to recognize different skulls and facts about each animal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can take a lot away from examining the skulls of different vertebrates up close and personal,\u201d said Senior Educator Marissa Nolan. \u201cTrying to figure out what animal each skull belongs to can be rather challenging.\u201d<\/p>\n
