My visit to Granville County ....

Weary from so many travels, Tryon rests up at a small farm in northern Granville County before heading to Raleigh on Oct.  12 and is surprised to find a gorgeous baby diamondback terrapin getting ready to go to the NAAEE Conference, too!!  It was no accident to hear him exclaim, “what a fine Carolina Critter!” 

You can meet the terrapin and his friends the bumble bee, red-cockaded woodpecker, narrow-mouthed toad and many more when you visit the “Welcome to North Carolina” exhibit at the Raleigh Convention Center, Oct 12-14. What is really cool is that you can take the Carolina Critters home with you permanently and share them with friends and students. Once they settle into their new surroundings, they required very little care and thrive on marvel and will delight for many moons to come. Adoption fees are very affordable and go toward a great cause: Environmental Education!! Don’t miss meeting all of Tryon’s newest friends, Carolina Critters & Crafts.
