Special Events   

See one of the largest emergences of bats east of the Mississippi River! Take a short walk to Sauta Cave and see 100's of thousands of endangered gray bats emerge at dusk.  We will meet at 6:45 PM at a gravel parking lot behind Popeye's and Burger King in Gurley (Hwy 72) and then carpool to the refuge (details will follow).

Visit the “nation’s only retailer of lost luggage” dedicated to selling items recovered from unclaimed airline baggage and other transportation companies for the past 50 years. You’ll be amazed at thousands of items reclaimed, both common and highly unusual! Shop for clothing, electronics, jewelry, sports equipment, and much more! We will be given an introduction and orientation to this unique store by a staff person, followed by browsing on our own. Lunch (optional) is available in the store’s café. Carpooling from Gurley will be encouraged.

Have you ever looked at someone with a prosthetic arm or leg and just marveled at the engineering feat that is the prosthetic? Prosthetics have indeed come a long way in the past 10 years. We will have the opportunity to learn about modern-day prosthetics when we tour the Fourroux Prosthetics business.
