The LIHS will be participating in the Cold Spring Harbor Fish Hatchery & Aquarium's annual Reptile and Amphibian Appreciation Day. The event is to take place on June 1 from 10AM until 4PM. The LIHS will have various reptiles and hopefully some amphibians on display.
We have participated at the event for years now and it is always a big hit with families that attend. Both kids and adults are virtually always enthralled by the displays of live animals. Hope you can make it.
A note to LIHS members, we do need volunteers to attend, see: http://www.lihs.org/files/herpday.pdf.
In addition, the day will also include a judged Turtle & Tortoise Pageant which will be held concurrently with the above event. This pageant is independent of the above but LIHS members are almost certain to have some turtles and tortoises in the pageant too. So, if you show up, you get two events for your enjoyment along with all of the regular exhibitions at the CSHFHA.
More info about the events, and how to enter the turtle & tortoise pageant, can be found on the page at this link:

The LIHS will be holding its annual auction in the Conference Center at SUNY Farmingdale in Melville, NY, just off of Route 110. It is slated to run from 1PM to 4PM (but may end earlier). For the most part, herp related items will be auctioned but non-herp items may also be offered. Items may be new or used but used items should hopefully be in good shape. Proceeds to benefit the LIHS which is a New York State registered, not-for-profit organization, formed in 1987, to educate the members of the organization and the public with respect to the conservation, ecological role and captive care of reptiles and amphibians.
