| The 4th Annual Snow Goose Festival of the Pacific Flyway has been scheduled for January 24-26, 2003 in Chico, CA. This year's festival will coincide with and feature the Centennial Celebration of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Refuge system. To kick-off the weekend's activities, a 100th Anniversary Reception will be held in the Mezzanine of the Sierra Nevada Brewery on Friday, January 24 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. | |
As in the past, most workshops and field trips during the festival will cost only $5 per person, and registration will begin in mid-December. Events typically begin at the Chico Masonic Family Center, although several satellite sites such as the Chico Creek Nature Center and the Gridley Museum will host special events throughout the weekend.
This year's version of the popular Snow Goose Banquet at the Chico Masonic Family Center on Saturday, January 25 will feature performing artist David Geisen in an impersonation of Audubon, complete with period clothing, historical references, and personal anecdotes.
Program updates will be posted regularly on websites of the Chico Chamber of Commerce (http://www.chicochamber.com) and the Sacramento River Preservation Trust (http://www.sacrivertrust.org).
