Raptors of the Rockies and Volunteer Appreciation BBQ

Noon BBQ lunch starts as we show our appreciation to everyone who supports the Nine Mile Community Center and its programs! The very popular Raptors Program with Kate Davis starts at 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome to join this family friendly lunch and live animal presentation. Raptors of the Rockies Director, Kate Davis, will return with an informative and entertaining program with Little Billie the Northern Saw Whet Owl and three other raptors. Their facilities are on the banks of the Bitterroot in Florence. Years ago, Kate remembers someone at their 1000th program shouting, “See you at number 2000!” That seemed inconceivable, at the time, but they are getting close. In their 39th year of education, Kate and “Teaching Team” travel the west for schools and the public with over 150,000 participants plus PowerPoints across the country. She encourages everyone to venture outdoors and enjoy “nature therapy.” And as in every single trip, we’ll all hoot up an owl as a finale.
