Slow down, tune into nature, and help us document our local pollinator population! Bugwatching can be very grounding and relaxing.

Bring a blanket or lawn chair, get comfortable, and enjoy focusing on their world for a while.
We have a limited number of nets, guide books, pocket microscopes, hand lenses, and magnifying glasses that can be borrowed during this program. There will be a fun Pollinator Scavenger Hunt game for those who don't prefer to sit still!

“King” LeBron James’ years playing in Cleveland bring promise, prosperity, and renewal to the city, while his twelve-year reign also unites Shawn and Matt in an unlikely friendship founded on basketball.
The fortunes of the Cavaliers are about to change: The great LeBron James, the biggest star in basketball, is coming to Cleveland. But when superfan Matt’s latest business venture turns sour, he has to sell his most prized possession – his pair of Cavs season tickets. The buyer, Shawn, just sold his first short story – so watching his team in the flesh for the first time will be a sweet reward. Now just to figure out what to do with that second ticket. Thrown together by chance, the next 12 years prove as defining, dramatic, and sometimes heart-breaking for Matt and Shawn as they do for the Cavs – and for “King” LeBron James. Multi-award-winner Rajiv Joseph delivers a clever comedy that is an intimate exploration of the place that sports occupy in our lives and relationships.
