Dan the Snakeman at the Oxford Library
OXFORD – Children and adults alike are invited to attend a special Family Night program at the Oxford Memorial Library, when “Dan the Snakeman” will be entertaining and educating the masses at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, in the community room of the library, 8 Fort Hill Park in the Village of Oxford.
This event is free of charge, and Youth Services Coordinator Carolyn Thau said Dan the Snakeman will be bringing snakes, spiders, and an appearance from a crocodile is even possible.
Dan “The Snakeman” Chase began educating audiences more than two decades ago using a unique approach so that people could better understand and appreciate reptiles. His original program featured two snakes, one turtle, two frogs and one iguana. Chase’s initial program idea was to bring zoo-like reptiles to children in public schools.
“The goal of the show is to help children and adults understand how important reptiles, amphibians and other cold blooded creatures are to both the environment and to people who wish to keep them as pets,” stated Chase. “During my shows, the audience is able to touch and interact with the animals and learn more about them.”
Chase began presenting educational shows and programs in 1988, and since that time his shows have evolved. He now offers a variety of species including snakes, alligators, tortoises, tarantulas, lizards and giant frogs.
Thau said those at the library are very excited to be able to present such a program for the public. Not only will it be educational, she said, it will also be a lot of fun.
Chase has informed and entertained audiences at both public and private schools, fairs and festivals, nature centers, boy and girl scout summer camps, youth groups, corporate events, libraries, and colleges and universities. He offers various program themes including “African Adventure,” “Amazing Asia,” “Made in America,” and “Snakes-N-Stuff from A-Z.”
Said Thau, “By coming to this program families will have access to unique animals that they've either never seen or never seen this close.”
Children sometimes are very curious about reptiles and amphibians and are eager to touch them, while others tend to be more reserved regarding getting close to those animals that slither or crawl. Thau said Thursday’s program will be a fun, informative family night, and “The Snakeman” has a wealth of knowledge regarding reptiles.
“This program is a great time for families to spend some inexpensive time with each other,” said Thau. “It’s a way to be curious about the world together.”
This Family Night program is sponsored by Senator Libous funds.
