SQUIRREL-A-PALOOZA!
Squirrel Month is an annual designation observed in October. Yes, you read that right. A whole month dedicated to giving those furry, quirky little creatures that GOJAC loves so much the attention they deserve. We'll be meeting to appreciate the local squirrel population and giggle at the silly mannerisms of squirrels. Nut-orious GOJAC will be in attendance to tell you the names of all the squirrels we see.*
