Courtenay’s very own Puntledge River Elasmosaur is turning 80,000,035 this November! Join us at the museum on Saturday, November 25th from 11:00am – 2:00pm for a special birthday party for the Elasmosaur, and celebrate its official designation as the provincial fossil of BC. This event is fun for all ages. With some help from adults, kids can craft, wear, and take home their own birthday hat. Attendees will also be given a commemorative postcard certificate that they can sign and keep, as well as a special custom button to celebrate the event. Please join the museum team and volunteers for door prizes, birthday decorations, cake and cupcakes, juice, and a visit from the museum mascot. Thank you to MLA Ronna-Rae Leonard for giving a special welcome at 12:30 pm.
