Friday the 13th has long been associated with bad luck, but are some animals unfairly labeled as unlucky? Join us for a fascinating look at the myths, superstitions, and folklore surrounding animals such as moths, owls, and snakes. Learn the truth behind these misunderstood creatures and meet a live snake up close during this fun and educational program. The doors will close at 5:30 and anyone arriving after 5:30 will be invited to explore the Museum of the Grand Prairie and attend the session beginning at 6:30.
