Wings on the Wind – A Science & Nature Festival
Saturday, April 12th – 10 am to 2 pm
Our Master Naturalist volunteers are very busy getting ready for this year’s Wings on the Wind Saturday, April 12th from 10 am until 2 pm. We have added so many things to Wings on the Wind over the years, that we thought it fitting to add to the name. So, this year you will be seeing it as Wings on the Wind – A Science & Nature Festival! Mark your calendars! It’s always a great time! The festival is free. Entry into the park is $5 per car! Come out and spend the day with us at Abilene State Park – Texas Parks and Wildlife. The festival is located by the CCC building and in the soccer area. Stay tuned for for info……
