TuscParks to host butterfly exhibit July 10-20 at NJC

TuscParks will host a free public butterfly exhibit July 10-20 at the Norma Johnson Center, thanks to sponsorship from the O’Donnell Family Charitable Foundation. The exhibit, located under the picnic shelter on Conservation Drive, will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m.

Now in its 13th year at the Norma Johnson Center, Fran LeMaster’s traveling butterfly exhibit, “All A Flutter,” continues to draw visitors of all ages. Guests are invited to step inside the live butterfly enclosure and observe several native Ohio butterfly species up close. Chrysalis displays will be featured throughout the week, with butterfly hatchings occurring daily inside the exhibit.

The exhibit also will include free crafts and face painting. Additional crafts and monarch chrysalis will be available for purchase while supplies last. Donations will be accepted at the entrance. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

The Norma Johnson Center is located on state Route 39, approximately 3 miles west of Interstate 77 at Dover Exit 83 and 6 miles east of Sugarcreek. The exhibit will be held at 3645 Conservation Drive NW, near the red barn.
