The California Living Museum (CALM) will be closed on Nov. 27 for Thanksgiving but invites you to come out the following day, Friday, Nov. 28 for a free admission and a chance to help stockpile food for the animals on Feast for the Beasts Day. CALM, located between Hart Park and Lake Ming in northeast Bakersfield, will be open from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and will admit you for free in exchange for a food donation to the animals (based on type and quantity of food items listed below). The food donated will be stored at CALM and used to feed its animal residents throughout the winter.

3 lbs. pecans, walnuts, almonds and/or unshelled peanuts (all without salt or flavoring)
