Award-winning author Marty Essen is coming to Sycamore with a high-energy show that will take us across all seven continents as he searched for rare wildlife. From charging elephants to cuddly wallaroos to swimming with piranhas, Essen's presentation uses adventure to teach lessons of conservation and wildlife appreciation. Essen describes his show as one part lecture, one part theater, one part slide show, one part comedy. Great for ages 8 to adult. Show is 7-8:30 pm with time for Q&A afterwards. All proceeds benefit the Midwest Museum of Natural History, a non-profit organization.
