We have a special guest -- the Bat Lady! Vicky Smith is the state's leading educator and gives a great bat program for young and old. She will bring her own personal bats for you to see up close. She will tell us about the lives of these tiny mammals as we watch 400,000 of them emerge from the cave at sunset. 
. This is the largest emergence of bats east of the Mississippi River, and Sauta contains the largest summer colony of the endangered grey bat species. $10 donation per family requested.
