(August 10, 2020): Discovery Channel’s Shark Week has become somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon. For Mystic Aquarium and the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy (AWSC), the more talk about sharks, the better. As the two New England organizations join in the excitement, they also join forces. Mystic Aquarium and AWSC will be co-hosting a virtual Shark Trivia Challenge on Facebook Live on Tuesday, August 11 at 7pm as part of each organization’s week-long celebration of sharks. While the shark enthusiasts are technically ‘joining forces,’ the proverbial gloves will be off as the trios from each organization face-off to see who is more shark-savvy. Friends and followers are invited not only to play along in support of their ‘side’ but also submit questions in advance - from the highly scientific to the ultra-pop culture. Those who submit a question will be entered to win a prize during the live game! Pre-register to submit trivia questions and enter to win our opportunity drawing. The stakes are high in this virtual battle of wits! The losing organization will have to sing baby shark, while donning the opposing team’s uniform, for future broadcast on social media. Most importantly, it is critical for people to appreciate the value of these apex predators to the health of the ocean ecosystem, to understand the fact and fiction surrounding sharks and learn how they can take action to support the many endangered sharks species. Education, conservation and research are at the heart of everything being done at Mystic Aquarium and the Atlantic While Shark Conservancy. Based in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Atlantic While Shark Conservancy, a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit, is committed to raising public awareness of white sharks. The Conservancy supports scientific research, improves public safety and educates the community to inspire conservation of Atlantic white sharks. Also a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, Connecticut-based Mystic Aquarium is counted among the nation’s leading aquariums, offering exemplary care to a variety of species. Robust conservation and education programming along with unparalleled visitor experiences serve to strengthen personal connections to the animals and their environments. Amid current safety protocols, both Mystic Aquarium and AWSC have turned to virtual programming and social media engagement in support of Shark Week 2020. Visit their individual social media channels for more information and dedicated content.   WGBH and the Massachusetts Department of Early Education is offering a free summer learning initiative for kids under the age of 8! The program features games, videos, and hands on activities featuring PBS Kids characters. Families can earn points by completing activities and have the opportunity to win prizes. Check it out in the link below and through the WGBH Family Fun at Home Facebook Group!

Story Land: A Family Tradition By: Brian This summer, my family left the Cape for a weekend and headed to one of our favorite vacation spots, the White Mountains of New Hampshire. It’s a destination that I personally have been enjoying annually pretty much since I was born. My aunt used to have a timeshare in North Conway, and we’d always book it for a week in the summertime with my cousins. Every year we’d make it a point to spend a day at Story Land, a tradition which I have continued now with my own family.  Although the park has changed quite a bit since I was a kid (we all especially miss the Silver Mine attraction!) it’s still a blast to enjoy with your own little ones and it’s not at all difficult to spend an entire day there. First there are the rides; there is definitely something for everyone. There are a few small roller coasters there but nothing too extreme. The Bamboo Chutes coaster features a slow climb and a decently long plunge, but my son who’s 8 went on this ride 3 times and a row and loved it. My personal favorite was Dr. Geyser’s Remarkable Raft Ride, which consists of a rotating, four-person raft which tumbles down a fairly flat waterway track, with geysers and other water hazards all around. You’re definitely gonna get wet. We probably spent over a half an hour at the Splash Battle attraction, in which a group rides a boat on a water track in a circle, while others on the “shore” spray water cannons at you. The ride you’re on also features water cannons, so you can give it all back! Again, probably best to bring a dry shirt.  My daughter, who’s three, was mesmerized by the Farm Follies Theatre, which is a periodic performance featuring animatronic fruits, vegetables, and other colorful farm characters that seems to take place every fifteen minutes or so. There are plenty of different songs, jokes, and characters to keep just about anyone entertained. We truly didn’t have the easiest time getting my little girl to leave!  The older part of the park is where it gets its namesake from, as many of the attractions are centered around popular children’s stories. There’s a full-time Mother Goose on duty, as well as Humpty Dumpty, the Woman in the Shoe, and Cinderella. The youngest of visitors will probably find this to be exciting, as there are plenty of replicas of famous story locations for them to explore. Aside from the attractions and the rides at the park, I was impressed with the food available there, as the prices were fair and healthy options such as salads were available as was typical fare food, with some slightly heartier choices like BBQ pulled pork, which was great. We keep coming back to Story Land every summer, and there really is enough to see and do here to keep it interesting and make sure the experience doesn’t get old. Check it out for yourself!  Brian lives on the Cape with his family and 2 children. He is the owner of Millennium Archery where he not only teachers archery but also makes custom arrows and products. Brian also enjoys cooking and trying new healthy recipes with the family. He enjoys spending time outdoors in nature and appreciating all that the Cape has to offer. Brian will be guest posting on the blog as we add in our new feature called Dad's Den which will share blogs from Dad's point of view.
