Free Admission at Maine Wildlife Park This Sunday!

This Sunday, September 7th is National Grandparents Day!

The Maine Wildlife Park in Gray is offering free admission for Grandparents on Sunday. Spend the day viewing over 25 species of Maine Wildlife, walking one of the trails, or viewing the Dry Mills Fish Hatchery which raises thousands of Brook Trout annually. Finish of the day enjoying a lunch or dinner in the large picnic area.

Here are a few other family fun activities:

• Discover your family roots together. Revisit old scrapbooks or make a new one. Look at old photo albums. Ask your Grandparents to help you create a family tree.

• Let the children borrow the video camera and do a mini-interview or documentary on their Grandparents. They will have fun, and you will all have the conversation saved for posterity.

• Help the children create homemade cards for Grandparents Day.

• Volunteer with your family members at a local nursing home, and make others happy.
