Here's a CALM news release:

Mothers and grandmothers, May 10 truly is your day at the California Living Museum (CALM), where you will be admitted for Mother’s Day at half price and have a chance to win a free CALM Family Membership, too. CALM, located between Lake Ming and Hart Park on Alfred Harrell Highway in northeast Bakersfield, will be open 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Bring the whole family.

Be sure to browse through CALM’s gift store where you will find special nature-related items that we are sure Mom will love.

“Spring is an especially beautiful time of year at CALM,” said Director Tom Anspach. “Pack a picnic lunch, bring the whole family and enjoy the day.”     

We never forget good old Dad (and Grandpa, too). So, we are extending the same offer to them on Father’s Day, June 21!

For more information, call CALM at (661) 872-2256 or visit the Web site.

CALM is a combination zoo, botanical garden and natural history museum, which for 26 years has provided residence for native animals that because of injury or abandonment can no longer survive on their own in the wild.
