Free Green Expo offers wildlife education, charity drives for Elgin community

The free Green Expo at the Edward Schock Centre of Elgin had a little something for everyone Saturday.

Tina the tailless opossum and Lottie the milk snake were on hand at a booth set up by Anderson Humane and its Wildlife Coexistence Program.

The community-minded day also featured a food drive for Food for Greater Elgin and a winter coat drive for the Salvation Army Elgin Corps.
