No matter how you look at it, spiders get a pretty bad rap. Hollywood showcases them as evildoers and most folks consider them pests (at best). Well, make this the year that you learn something about them & become an arachnophile not an arachnophobe. It's time for the Tarantula Awareness Festival in Coarsegold! Join us for some creepy crawly fun & festivities at the Coarsegold Historic Village for the annual Tarantula Awareness Festival! The festival is a celebration that honors the local, hairy arachnids that come out around around the area in October to mate and keep their species alive. Throughout the day there are many fun events, activities, and demonstrations in the Village! A Little Love To The Spiders Before we leap into the Tarantula Awarness Festival like a cute jumping spider (don't worry... our tarantulas don't jump), let's talk about just how important they are to our ecosystem. Did you know that the world´s spiders eat between 400 and 800 MILLION tons of bugs per year? And when you compare that number to humans consuming 400 tons of fish & meat annually, that´s A LOT of bugs! And many of these are bugs that we really would rather have less around anyway, like mosquitoes and flies. Thanks spiders! Throughout the day there are many fun events, activities, and demonstrations in the Village! |
