Oak Mountain State Park is hosting its fourth annual Memorial Day Bug Races on May 26 at 10 a.m.
Created by Park Naturalist Emily Cook, the event invites children out to the park to catch bugs and watch them compete.
“It’s a fun way get kids interest in bugs,” Cook said.
For the races, Cook draws a circle on the ground has children put the bugs they catch in the center. The first bug outside the circle is declared the winner.
Participating is free with paid park admission. The races will take place at the basketball courts on Terrace Drive. For more, call 620-2520.
