Thanks for making our Extreme Delta Inland Voyage a big success.
As part of Oakley Science Week, the DSC held an event on May 7 that featured a marine show put on by the Marine Science Institute. MSI brought out a show that featured Leopard Sharks, plus other fish, that the kids just loved. All three shows were booked to the max with kids, plus their parents. It was a beautiful spring day.
Thanks to the Ironhouse Sanitary District for providing a place for us to host the event. ISD also hosted a booth and offered a craft project. Kids got the chance to build a Fats, Oils and Grease (FOG) can.
Diablo Water District also came out and helped round out the event with a science experiments showing children what happens when foriegn elements are added to the water they drink.
