Ponderings: Fauna Fright

Come to Hidden Pond Nature Center from 4:30 to 6 p.m. to prove that Friday the 13th superstitions are nonsense. Naturalist Brian promises to break a mirror, walk under a ladder and toss away his rabbit’s foot as a prelude to this program on scary critters. Then he’ll introduce animals found at Hidden Pond Park that have inspired fear in some people. The program is perfect for 6 to 12-year-olds and includes a walk and lots of fun. The fee is $5 per person. To make a reservation, call 703-451-9588.
