Folks,

This year's Philadelphia Shell Show will feature a sit-down buffet-style supper on Saturday evening, in the famous Dinosaur Hall at the Academy of Natural Sciences. The supper starts at 6:15, following a special guest talk in the Auditorium. This year we are excited to offer a presentation on 'Collecting mega-biodiversity in the Philippines' by Smithsonian Malalcologist Dr Ellen Strong. The Show Awards Ceremony will take place during supper, and our judges will all be on hand.
Supper will be catered this year by our new partners Sage Catering

who offer a fine and full menu. There will be free wine and beer and full dessert options too, and all for just $25 per head!
