Calling all owl callers!
People needed to give a hoot at the Festival of Owls
If you can say who cooks for you, who=92s awake, whinny, and beep like =20=
a truck backing up, your talents are needed at the 5th annual =20
Festival of Owls to be held March 2-4, 2007 in Houston, MN.
An owl calling contest is scheduled to be held on Saturday, March 3 =20
during the Festival of Owls, and hooters and tooters are needed to =20
compete. Participants must be able to imitate the calls of at least =20
three different eastern owl species, and will be judged on their =20
repertoire of calls.
Since the Festival of Owls is a fundraiser for the Houston Nature =20
Center, the top three owl callers won=92t go home with pocketfuls of =20
cash, but they will go home with medals and glory (and probably their =20=
name in the press.) Champion callers may be asked to serve as an owl =20=
caller on one of the owl prowl buses departing into the countryside =20
that evening to lure in wild owls for festival attendees.
Please contact Karla Kinstler shortly if you are interested in =20
participating. She can be reached at 507-896-HOOT (4668) or =20
nature@acegroup.cc. For a full festival schedule, go to =20
