Thank you to the Audubon Zoo for the fossil exhibit, the Tangipahoa Library for the lists of dinosaur books available for check-out, and our volunteer face painters and crafts volunteers. Thank you to Sweet Ideas - The Cake Shoppe in Hammond for the fabulous cupcakes and cake balls - and Buddy loved the fondant replica of himself!
