The American Bald Eagle Foundation will host “Day of the Denticles: A Celebration of Sharks” to educate the public about shark species throughout Alaska.

People are invited to attend 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, at the foundation for food, arts and crafts, activities and plenty of shark facts.

This is the third event in the foundation’s monthly Saturday Species program.

Volunteer coordinator Chloe Goodson organized the events to invite the local community in to the foundation. She said the June and July programs about moose and wolves had a very good turnout of roughly 70 people, although she didn’t know exact numbers.

Goodson said the program will focus on porcupines next month, and she hopes to continue these events through the winter.
