CVH Animal Sanctuary Celebrates The Season With Spooktacular
Published: Nov 09, 2025 8:00 am
On Sunday, October 26, Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary sponsored a Spooktacular learning event featuring Christine’s Critters of Weston.
The program focused on a presentation of live birds rescued by representatives from Christine’s Critters, as well as other creatures that many consider to be “scary.”
Among the many critters there were a scorpion, a Madagascar hissing cockroach, a python, and a tarantula.
The event took place in the newly constructed Catherine’s Learning Barn to a full house of guests. Children and adults said they were amazed at what they learned during the program, with special emphasis on the bioluminescence of a scorpion.
