Bear Creek Nature Center will host a free celebration, inviting the community to explore and experience the nature center’s new and updated exhibits! The celebration will include live music from the All In! Jazz Trio, Greenback Cutthroat Trout educational presentations from Colorado Parks and Wildlife, live animals from Pikes Peak Community College’s “Wild Things” program, and for the young guests, Bear Creek Habitats puppet shows. Papa Murphy’s will provide each attendee a free slice of pizza and other light refreshments will be served. Attendees will also have the opportunity to enter two contests during the celebration. One is an ‘Exhibits Scavenger Hunt’, in which teams can work to complete an informational hunt designed around the new exhibits. The prize is a $75 gift certificate to Colorado Springs’ Millibo Art Theatre. A ‘Most Creative Selfie’ contest will invite participants to take a creative selfie with one of the new Bear Creek exhibits and upload their picture to Bear Creek Nature Center’s Facebook page. The winner of this contest will receive a $50 gift certificate to Black Bear Diner.
