I'm the first to admit I'm not a big fan of bugs. Sure, I get excited when a butterfly or ladybug lands on me. I'll even pick up a lizard that's found his way into my house and put him back outside where he belongs. And roly-polies make me giggle. But that's about where the fun ends and the terror begins. However, I put all my fears aside one day each year and head out to Oxbow Meadows for their annual Insectival. This Saturday (July 11) marks their 15th annunal insect festival and this thing never disappoints! Once I get over the fact that there are creepy-crawlies everywhere, I'm ok and dive right into the fun. You never know what you're going to experience but I know for sure you can check out things like honey extraction with the Chattahoochee Valley Beekeepers, hands-on insect inspections (I can guarantee you won't see me in line for this one), sweet buggy treats, and their Infamous Cricket Spitting Contest! Back to the sweet buggy treats, it's exactly what it sounds like. In the past, they've had lollipops with crickets and other things in them you normally are glad not to find in your food and they've even had chocolate-covered 'goodies.' The fun runs from 10:00am-3:00pm so if you have kids of any age, take them...they will love this. And if you don't have kids, go anyway and be prepared to squeal and squirm at the sight of these curious creatures. Just don't look for me near the hissing cockroaches...I'll be in the car when they brings those out!!
