Saturday, September 22, 2012 Natural Tunnel State Park is expecting a visitor, a very special visitor!
This visitor is different than any visitor that has been to the park in many years. This one is a dinosaur. That’s right, Buddy the T-Rex from PBS’s Dinosaur Train, will be at the park from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
