July 3, 2021 - 9:00am to 11:00am
In honor of #PollinatorWeek, we'd like to tell you about the upcoming BeeBlitz at the Pollinatarium, located at 606 W. Windsor Rd., Urbana!
 
FROM BEESPOTTER.ORG AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS:
 
Join us at the Pollinatarium on July 3, from 9 to 11 a.m. to celebrate another National Pollinator Week. The University of Illinois Pollinatarium is the first free-standing science center in the nation devoted to flowering plants and their pollinators. It's surrounded by prairie, so it's the perfect place to spot some bees! Please note: the Pollinatarium building is closed until August, so this will be an outdoor event.

ART IS ALIVE AGAIN--courtesy of Visit Champaign County

During the past 15 months, we spent countless hours in our homes, staring at our walls and our shelves, re-evaluating our choices. Meanwhile, our local artists struggled to connect with audiences and lost income with festivals and shows deemed unsafe. While there were virtual options during the pandemic, it’s not the same when you don’t have the opportunity to connect with local artists, hear their stories, and share in their inspiration.
