Various birds, snakes, raptors, and other critters were on display: some poisonous snakes were inside the John Borom building nearby.

BOOK FESTIVAL TOO
The Grand Festival of Books, sponsored by the Page and Palette bookstore, was being held nearby; various authors were on hand to sign and discus their recent books.
