Something fishy is going on!
Did you know that the Fraser River Discovery Centre offers birthday parties for kids? There are two options to choose from: a fish-themed party for 3-5 year olds and an archaeological adventure for 6-10 year olds.
To launch the birthday parties, we celebrated George’s birthday at the Discovery Center last week and are preparing a second birthday bash at the River District Centre on Saturday, November 26th, from 1:00-2:30pm.
The star of the show is George, a 1-meter long sturgeon puppet. During the puppet show, George is hanging out at the bottom of the river waiting for a salmon, his favourite food, to swim by. Today he is sad because it’s his birthday and he hasn’t got any family or friends to celebrate with him. Why not? Well, sturgeon are endangered which means that there aren’t that many of them in the Fraser River.
A clever salmon swims by and escapes being George’s lunch but overhears that he is sad and lonely on his birthday. She decides that this special fish deserves a party on one condition…all the animals who attend the party have to bring lots of food so that George isn’t hungry again for a very long time. And so the stage is set for the surprise party.
This fish-themed party includes crafts and fishy party games like “go-fish” and “pin the barbels on the sturgeon” and of course a visit with George!
