The Dan River Basin Association's (DRBA) "Tub-o-Bugs" show made a special visit to the Collinsville Library this week to take part in storytime. Brian Williams, Wayne Kirkpatrick, and Jennifer Doss of DRBA presented three programs on macroinvertebrates and stewardship to children ages 3-11. The programs included stories about rivers and the animals that live there, games where the children pretended to be their favorite river creature, and the famous "Tub-o-Bugs" display where the youth got to see and touch creatures living in our local rivers such as crawfish, creek-chubs, hellgramites, snails, and stoneflies. The older youth also participated in a skit called "Steam: The Movie" where they learned how we can protect local streams and rivers. To have the "Tub of Bugs" show visit your group, please contact DRBA's Education and Outreach Coordinator, Brian Williams at 276-634-2592.
