One of the main attractions at Feather Fest is the live birds brought by the Soarin’ Hawk Raptor Rehabilitation Center. Guests will have the chance to get up close to these amazing birds and learn more about them, which is always a special experience.
Music lovers will enjoy the live performance by Sam Dell, who will provide entertainment throughout the event. His music will add to the relaxed, outdoor atmosphere and make it even more enjoyable for all who attend.
Kids will have plenty to do as well, with fun crafts and activities planned just for them. A highlight for many children is likely to be the owl pellet dissection, where they can explore and learn in a hands-on way. This activity combines fun with education, as they discover what owls eat by examining the remains found in the pellets.
Feather Fest also provides an opportunity for those interested in learning more about local birding. ACRES Land Trust and Three Rivers Birding will have booths at the event, offering information for those who want to get involved with birdwatching or nature conservation.
For anyone who hasn’t been to Lindenwood Nature Preserve before, this event offers a perfect chance to explore the beautiful setting. It’s located at 600 Lindenwood Avenue—just northwest of downtown.

Whether you’re interested in birds, music or just want to enjoy a beautiful fall day, Lindenwood Nature Preserve is the place to be on October 19. And best of all, it's free!
