Event details

It’s holiday season! Chances are good that you’ll feast on turkey sometime soon. This program will provide you with turkey talking points so you can get through those celebratory meals without having to resort to talking about the weather. You’ll learn natural history, fun facts and what makes a wild turkey different from a farm-raised turkey. The program will start indoors and end outdoors with some games and a short hike in search of the perfect wild turkey habitat.
