Steve’s fascination with reptiles began when he was a young boy in St. Louis where, at the age of ten, he found a snake in his backyard. His interest eventually grew to include reptiles and arachnids, both of which he studies thoroughly to this day. He has raised and maintained more than 50 species of exotic snakes, lizards, monitors, tarantulas, and scorpions. All of this has since brought about what is now “The Reptile Experience.” He will be here on June 30, 2010, at 1 p.m.

Date Night
Don’t forget, it will be August 25 at 6 p.m. Everyone is welcome. For more information, call Shannon at 618-433-2872.
Date Night is about Phil and Claire Foster, a couple who have been married for several years. Their days consist of taking care of their children and going to work and coming home and going to bed. But they find time to have a date night when they go out and spend some time together. When another couple they know announces that they’re separating because they’re in a rut, Phil feels that he and Claire could be too. So when date night comes, Phil decides to do something different. They go into the city and try to get into a popular new restaurant. But when it’s full, Phil decides to take the reservation of a couple who don’t show up. While they’re having dinner, two men approach and instruct the Fosters to stand up and go with them. Phil and Claire think the men are with the restaurant and want to talk to them about taking someone else’s reservation. But it appears the couple whose reservation they took crossed someone, and the two men work for this person. The men are after something, but whatever it is, Phil and Claire don’t have it.
