Frogwatch for Families (10+yrs)

February 20, 4:30-7:30 pm

RIBBIT, RIBBIT! Calling all frog lovers!  FrogWatch USA is a citizen science program set up through AZA to help scientists collect data and vital information on frogs and toads. Join us for an hour-long classroom training where you will listen to the chorus of croaks, ribbits, and ‘jug-a-rums’, learn about all the native frogs and toads that live right here in western North Carolina, and identify the type of frog or toad by their call.  Then we’ll head out to a couple of hoppin’ frog spots around the Asheville area to see what species we can observe.  Program is geared to those ages 10 and up.

Cost: $20 per person.  Bonus: If you go out and monitor for FrogWatch 4 times after this training, you can get $10 back – ask for more details!

For more information, please contact Lauren Pyle at lpyle@ashevillenc.gov or call 828-259-8085.

Midweek Matinee- Queen of Katwe (PG)

This biopic of Ugandan chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga) traces her journey from the Kampala slum of Katwe, where she is forced to abandon her formal schooling at the age of nine, to the upper echelons of the chess world after she develops an interest in the game at a youth-outreach program run by Robert Katende (David Oyelowo). Lupita Nyong’o co-stars as Mutesi’s mother, who worries that her daughter’s dreams of becoming a chess champion are a frivolous distraction from real life. Produced as a joint venture between Disney and ESPN Films, Queen of Katwe was directed by Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding), and was adapted from a nonfiction book by sportswriter Tim Crothers, who became acquainted with Mutesi’s story while on assignment for ESPN. Rated PG, 124 minutes.
