There are certain times in life when the average person knows the most about dinosaurs – when they’re around 5 years old and then again when their kids (or grandkids) are. If you are in one of those seasons, or know someone who is, then you absolutely don’t want to miss a huge event coming to Charleston, West Virginia this fall: Jurassic Quest.
Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. Hear that sound? That’s the sound of a herd of dinosaurs heading right for the Coliseum in Charleston, West Virginia this fall.
