Fascinating displays were located throughout the property with staff explaining the various pieces of equipment, laboratory demonstrations, breeding of Mosquito fish, and strategies to combat mosquitos and other undesirable pests.
Emphasis was directed to the “Dumping of ALL Standing Water” where mosquitos can easily breed and multiply.
Staff also encouraged citizens to report “Dead birds” by telephoning 877-WNV-BIRD.
The Peninsula Humane Society and SPCA had representatives explaining their mission, goals, and activities.
Visitors were treated to popcorn, snacks, and drinks.
