Beetle to Speak at Harrisburg River Celebration
Harrisburg, PA-Are you a beetle fan? While we don't expect this beetle
to break into song, "The BugMobile,™" a Volkswagen beetle
painted to resemble a lady bug, will "talk" at the annual
Susquehanna River Celebration, on June 5 from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
at Harrisburg's Carousel Pavilion. Both educational and entertaining,
the car travels to special events sharing practical and environmentally
friendly tips on managing pests around the home and yard.
"The BugMobile™" in action.
Along with "The BugMobile™" (and its live insect collection),
numerous other surprises await you at the Celebration. A guided tour,
for instance, aboard the Pride of the Susquehanna Riverboat is scheduled
for 3 p.m. Discounted tickets will be available the day of the event.
Other activities centered on Celebration's We All Live Downstream
theme include exhibits, music, puppet shows, games, crafts, live animals
and food. Admission to the Susquehanna River Celebration is free and
the event will be held rain or shine.
The River Celebration is co-sponsored by the PA Chesapeake Bay Education
Office (administered by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation
Districts, Inc.), the City of Harrisburg, and The River 97.3
WRVV. Financial support is provided through an education grant with
the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's Chesapeake
Bay Program. For more information call (717) 238-7223 or visit www.pacd.org.
