About event
Registration is open at https://www.experimentpdx.com/event-details/sip-dissect
It's time for a treasure hunt--and the treasure is BONES! Join us for a 21+ only dissect and sip, where you can enjoy an adult beverage while tearing into an owl pellet to find out what sorts of critters these nocturnal birds have been eating. You'll also get to learn cool facts about owls, how to tell one tiny bone from another, and take home the bony booty (no, not THAT kind of booty!) you've unearthed. All materials for dissection included in the workshop fee; beverages available for purchase on-site.
