Eco BASH!
August 26, 2023 @ 6:00 pm - 11:00 pm
$100 – $250
This annual gala-style event is the DSNH’s flagship fundraiser that has been part of the Dayton community for more than a decade! Each year we look to support science and natural history education and champion our vision of being a top regional destination for people to engage with global natural history, science, and nature.
This year’s Bash supports Dayton’s Dinosaur! We are on a mission to fully articulate and display our duckbill dinosaur, and YOU can help!
TC, as Dayton’s Dinosaur is fondly called, is named for Tim Clelland, the property owner where the hadrosaur was found in Butte County South Dakota. It was excavated in 2001, purchased at auction by Peter Thaler, and donated to the Dayton Society of Natural History.
These duckbill mummies date from 66 to 68 million years old and are known to science as Edmontosaurus annectens. They are believed to have walked/run on both two and four legs.
We are continuing a “pick your experience” style event.
