Family Nature Club Meet-up
Jun 12 @ 11:00 am

Come out to the Refuge the second Sunday of each month for our Family Nature Club Meet-up. Each month we’ll have a different self-guided seasonal activity for families to complete on their own or with other Nature Club families. Stop in the Nature Center to pick-up the day’s material kit then head out to our Nature Playscape to join other families or right out onto the trail with your own group. 11am start for meet-up (or arrive between 10am-noon to adventure on your own). Advanced registration is not required, but kit availability is limited to 10 families. $5/per kit. Family Nature Club kits do not include Refuge admission.

Nature play is playing WITH nature, not just IN nature, and is a great way to interact with nature no matter your experience level or play style. Run, climb, build, dig, or even just sit and experience the sounds, smells, and sights of the outdoors.

Please no birthday parties or scout programs for these events. If you are interested in hosting a birthday party or scout program at Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, please check out our website links for Birthday Parties & Scout Programs.

The Brenda B Show Comedy Show Fundraiser at Studio67 @ Studio67

Help raise funds with some laughs, music and comedy performance by the Brenda B Show! Tickets are $30 and seating is limited to 50.
BYOB and food as the venue permits outside food and alcoholic beverages.

About the artists & show: 

Brenda and Deems started two years ago as a combination of fun and musical excitement fund raiser band named the DB5 that played multi genres of music to help the veterans of Coatesville Veterans Hospital.

Deems Palmer is a 40 year veteran who led the band and dancers were employed for all fund raisers with additional special guest artists.

Although COVID hit and devastated the economy, that did not stop Brenda Bianchi and Deems Palmer from wanting to spread some happiness and hope to eager audiences even though we were all confined to our houses. Brenda came up with the idea for the Brenda B Show.

The Brenda B Show started as a show featuring a combination of dance, all types of music, comedy routines along with jokes.

The show evolved towards rock songs, pop songs, classic Motown and songs of the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s as well as country music. Brenda and Deems brought her audiences fun facts and history about the artist and their music as well as fun facts in that day in Pop Culture added some humor and a super positive energy to each show.

Proceeds from this show will benefit Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge.
