Young girl bitten by rattlesnake while playing on Effie Yeaw playground.

A young girl became just the third rattlesnake bite victim in Effie Yeaw Nature Center's 30-year history last Saturday.

The girl, who Effie Yeaw Executive Director Torey Byington said was between the ages of 6 and 8, was playing on a park structure when she picked up a thick wooden disc. A baby rattlesnake hiding under the object bit her finger, sending her to a nearby hospital in an ambulance.
