While "keep your children away from alligators" is a truism most parents can agree on even in this polarized age, on Saturday the Ludington Library is hosting an event that probably qualifies as an exception.
From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., the 5 S. Bryn Mawr Avenue library is hosting Melvin, a gator hatchling the Adventure Aquarium is bringing around to drum up interest in Melvin's (much larger, and apparently mightier) cousin Mighty Mike—an 800-pound, 14-foot-long American alligator that will be at the Adventure Aquarium through Labor Day.
Families will get an up close view of baby Melvin on Saturday, all under the watchful eye of a trained expert who will answer questions about gators and, at the end of the day, give away four free tickets to the aquarium.
