Those cicadas are going to be fierce this year! We expect emergence between mid-May and early June. Once they start to "drop", there will be shells all over the place. These shells are great for compost for our garden as they are high in essential nutrients. This is where we could use your help and for doing so, we are making it a competition. Who can bring us the most cicada shells? Let's find out on June 29th! Start collecting when you can and we will be weighing your total haul and the TOP THREE in each of the following five categories will win a prize!
• 10 and Under
• 11-18
• 19-35
• 36-61
• 62 and up
**Drop off to the BAHCC office between 10am and 1pm on Saturday, June 29th. Winners will be announced after final weigh-in; you need not be present to win**
**You may use whatever type of bag you'd like to collect the shells as to make it a fair weigh-in, we will be using a bowl to weigh each.**
**If you would like to help sponsor this event, please send us a FB message or email us at [email protected].**
