‘Turtle Tales’ at Heritage Public Library

Above, Cooper Bowman (left) and Cooper Rhodes (right) can’t take their eyes off a chicken turtle as part of Virginia Living Museum’s “Turtle Tale” presentation Monday afternoon at Heritage Public Library’s branch at Charles City. Young children were able to listen to a legendary folk tale from Brazil about turtles as well as participate in dancing and singing.

At bottom, Jim Drummond of Virginia Living Museum carries around a pond turtle in front of a huge crowd of 100 people.
