The BEAR League is coming to North Tahoe ARTS
The March exhibit in the Corison loft is a fun one for the kids. Ann Bryan from The BEAR League and her collection of critters will be setting up the bear den and transforming the Corison loft into an outdoor learning lab for kids (parents are welcome too). How do we live peacefully with bears and the critters of the forest? What should we do when we see a bear? It’s always fun to have the kids at the art center.
Don’t forget the SnowFest Paint a Bear activity after the Snowfest Parade Saturday, Feb. 28 in Tahoe City. Come to North Tahoe ARTS at 380 North Lake Blvd. Treats and fun will be the order of the day. Paint the Bear usually goes from around noon to about 2 p.m. There is no charge.
