MARTINSVILLE, Va. (WDBJ) - The dinosaurs made their return to Martinsville Friday and Saturday with the annual Dino Festival.

The Virginia Museum of Natural History hosted the two-day extravaganza with life-size skeletons of dinosaurs and dozens of fossils on display. More than 4,000 came in from all across the Commonwealth, North Carolina and West Virginia.

Families asked paleontologists questions about the prehistoric creatures and visited the museum’s newest exhibit, ‘Dinosaur Discoveries’.
