Birds of Prey
Festival-goers get to meet hawks and owls up close and personal. Hurt in the wild and now cared for by Sharon Audubon, these magnificent birds are the ambassadors for their species. It is a great opportunity to learn about these wonderful aviators and the Audubon’s work in rehabbing and releasing them. Check them out on Facebook or the web.
11:30 AM Split Decision
A four piece band who will have you on your feet! Awesome rhythm section, ripping guitar leads and “wow” lead vocals. You might recognize the musicians from other bands and well… that is why they are the Split Decision Band.
