I was called by my grandmother to give a small presentation to my cousins (not sure how it goes in the family pecking order, but my grandmothers niece is the mother). I showed off my B. albopilosum, male E. Sp. red, A. Geniculata and G. rosea. I even fed both my geniculata and albopilosum for the presentation. Instead of letting them touch the physical tarantulas, I passed around the most recent molt from my P. cancerides. One of the kids happened to be an arachnophobe, but seeing the E. Sp. red just sit on my hand (he just crawled out like all Sp. red seem to do, therefore I ended up in a handling situation I did not want to be in) he was not scared of them. All of the kids were very interested, I may have just created future hobbyists.
It was a very rewarding experience for me as well, as I got to educate others about this great hobby. I would definitely love to do this again but for larger crowds.
