The event is hosted by the Alberta Reptile and Amphibian Society (TARAS), a non-profit dedicated to fostering education about these often misunderstood critters and promoting conservation since 1984.
TARAS holds two expos a year, once in the spring and again in the fall.
There will also be other forms of entertainment like Calgary’s Rainbow the Cloud and Friends and food trucks such as the Family Fry Guy.
