Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (PotashCorp) is once again presenting its popular PotashCorp Fossil Find attraction at the Atlantic International Balloon Fiesta in Sussex, NB.
What: PotashCorp Fossil Find Where: Festival grounds in Princess Louise Park (next to the St. John Ambulance building) When: Sept. 5 from noon to 8 p.m.; Sept. 6 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Sept 7 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission: Free
A favorite among youngsters, PotashCorp Fossil Find is an event in which children search for hidden treasures by sifting through about 20 tonnes of soil excavated from PotashCorp’s phosphate facility in Aurora, North Carolina. The treasures are fossils of shells, coral, fish bones and shark teeth. The children get to keep the fossils they unearth.
PotashCorp Fossil Find lends the thrill of discovery to an educational experience in which young people learn why fossils endure after most ancient sea life material has broken down into the phosphate material mined at Aurora.
“PotashCorp is pleased to bring Fossil Find to Sussex,” says Mark Fracchia, General Manager, PotashCorp New Brunswick. “Supporting the communities where we live and do business is central to our values. To do this in a way that educates and entertains children – the future of Sussex – is particularly satisfying.”
