March means spring is right around the corner, and the
Aquarium is gearing up for warm weather activities.
Along with daily films, programs and videos, the
Aquarium will offer a "Gardening With Nature" workshop
on March 16 from 9 a.m. to noon. The N.C. Cooperative
Extension Service teams up with the Aquarium to bring
you this "down to earth" instructional session, and
presentations cover a variety of local gardening and
landscaping topics. The workshop is free to registered
participants with regular paid admission to the Aquarium
For workshop details call Bob Patton at 247-4003 ext.
126, or Lisa Wimpfheimer at the extension office at 222-
6352. For registration, call the Aquarium at 247-4003.
On March 30, youngsters can help Allie the alligator find
her eggs by joining in an egg hunt on Easter weekend.
Youngsters will learn about alligators, see a live alligator
up close and make a craft souvenir. The program is
designed for ages 4-6 at a cost of $4 per child. Advance
registration is required. Because of the program's
popularity early registration is advised. To register, call
Aquarium at 247-4003.
Other Aquarium news includes a new lionfish exhibit,
scheduled to open in May. These beautiful and
fascinating fish have recently been discovered living
among shipwrecks offshore. Inhabiting waters 80-120
feet deep, these graceful and willowy denizens of the
sea would seldom be seen by anyone but divers.
However, the Aquarium's exhibit will provide a look at
these unusual and venomous fish to more than 250,000
visitors a year.
If you are a runner, start training for the Aquarium's
second annual Earth Day Fun Run on April 20. Both 5K
and lOK runs will be part of the Aquarium's annual Earth
Day Celebration.

JOKE OF THE DAY-
A husband and wife were at a party chatting with some
friends when the subject of marriage counseling came
up.
"Oh, we'll never need that. My husband and I have a
great relationship," the wife explained. "He was a
communications major in college and I majored in
Theatre arts.
He communicates real well and I just act like I'm
listening."
