Description
The International Owl Center is celebrating International Owl Awareness Day by offering free admission to all on Monday, August 5, thanks to sponsorship by Rushford State Bank.
Visitors should be able to meet four or five different species of live owls. The Owl Center will be open from 10:00 – 5:00 and 30-minute long programs will be presented every hour on the hour from 11:00 – 4:00 (although the 11 AM program usually draws more people than the facility can handle, and starts early if we reach capacity.) Door prizes to help people live owl-friendly lives will be awarded throughout the day, such as 100% recycled paper, innovative mouse traps and even M&Ms. Barista's Coffee House will feature owl-themed drinks, River Valley Convenience Store will offer owl-themed ice cream, Owl City Cycles will have a raffle for a children's owl-themed bicycle, and JT's Corner Bar and Grill will have specials too.
Expect large crowds and programs to be standing-room only (especially at 11:00). For more information and the program schedule go to www.internationalowlcenter.org/owlawarenessday.
