Leapin' Lizards Free Kids Event in Fair Haven Wednesday Night

FAIR HAVEN, NJ - Kids: Meet “The Lizard Guys” at Audubon Family Night this Wednesday, March 8 in Fair Haven.

The Lizard Guys will teach and entertain using live animals at the Monmouth County Audubon Society’s annual “Family Night” program Wednesday night. The meeting will be held at the Knights of Columbus hall, 200 Fair Haven Road, Fair Haven. The public is welcome; admission is free.

The program will start at 7:00 p.m.

The Lizard Guys is a New Jersey-based “kid-friendly” educational entertainment troupe that provides live animal presentations with lizards, snakes, turtles, frogs and various bugs. Geared to the age of the group, the program centers around the live animals. The audience is introduced to each animal, generally one at a time, by one of The Lizard Guys, explaining where the animal comes from, its normal diet, its life expectancy and answering any other questions from the group. They will also learn about a typical “day-in-the-life” of each animal, such as what they eat and their normal habitat. The program promises to be fun for all ages.

Since 1995 they not only educate, but entertain groups of children, from 5 to 95, using live animals. The Lizard Guys has performed over 10,000 presentations for children and adults of all ages at birthday parties, day cares, camps, scouts and special occasions over the last 22 years.

The Monmouth County Audubon Society, a chapter of the National Audubon Society, is dedicated to the enjoyment and study of nature, wildlife conservation, habitat protection, and education. Meetings are held the second Wednesday of each month September through May at the Knights of Columbus hall, 200 Fair Haven Road, Fair Haven; guest speakers address a wide variety of nature-related topics, and refreshments are provided. In addition, the group sponsors at least one field trip per month, and members receive The Osprey, the club’s bi-monthly newsletter.
