BELLE FOURCHE—An entertaining look at the importance of skeletons was on full display during the Tri-State Museum’s Family Fun Day on October 20. The event, Rattlin’ Skeletons provided a hands-on education to 27 participants. The skeleton theme of learning all about bones coincides perfectly with the Halloween season.
The presentation included videos about bones, real animal skeletons to examine, and a project to trace their own skeletons on large paper. A trip to the Animals Gone Wild, Haunted Spaulding Cabin was a fun activity included in the day. The event-goers finished the day by creating skeletons with q-tips.
A drawing for The Skeleton Book, with a pull out poster, was held and given out to one lucky winner. And of course, refreshments were served. Kids were sent home with an activity packet.
The next Family Fun Day will be November 17, with the focus on Thanksgiving Foods. They are held each month at the Tri-State Museum. Mark your calendar for every 3rd Sunday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Everyone in the family is invited to participate in the fun, parents, grandparents and children are all encouraged to spend the day together. Admission to the Family Fun Day is $2 per person and reservations are encouraged.
