Sheets Wildlife Museum Movie Day Feb. 8

Sheets Wildlife Museum and Learning Center will be having a movie day on Saturday, Feb. 8.  The movie is free. A tour of the museum $1 per person. The movie will start at 10:30 a.m. and will last approximately 75 minutes.

The movie we will be showing will be a two part movie on Alaska. The first movie will be Wild Alaska. It will be a visual portrait of wildlife on The Last Frontier. Shot in some of the most remote regions of Alaska, this program will focus on habitat and viewing areas rarely visited. 

The second movie is Alaska’s Sea Life. Slowly, powerfully, the majestic Killer Whale makes its way from the warm waters of Hawaii to the frigid waters of Alaska in its effort to store up food for the long winter. Brightly-colored Puffins fly overhead and then plunge deep into the sea. Below the surface, salmon overcome men, bears and the elements to continue their relentless trek to a certain death. 

There will be an easy quiz with the top three youth receiving a gift certificate to be used in the museum gift shop.

Seating is limited so it is suggested that you call 356-9453 to reserve a seat.
