Keynote Presentation, Saturday Evening Banquet - 'Snowy Owls in Alaska'
by Denver Holt, Founder and President of the Owl Research Institute
in Charlo, Montana and winner of the 2012 World Owl Hall of Fame's
Champion of Owls Award .
For the avid photographers - Owl photography sessions Sunday morning
(extra fee). The last I checked there were only seven photography slots
open. (Alan Stankevitz does a great job of arranging the photo sessions.)
There may be a bus tour going from Mason City and Forest City area on
Saturday. It has not been publicized yet. If interested contact me
directly and I'll tell you what I know.

General registration for the International Festival of Owls is now
open! You can register online or print a registration form to mail.
This registration form includes the Cub Scout Program, Banquet, Owl
Photo Sessions, Birding and Natural History Bus Trip, and Digital Photo
Contest. It does not, however, include the Snowy Owl Safe Families
Expedition. That event will have a separate registration process, which
is not yet finalized.
Please note that registration fees will increase if you register for an
event after February 26.
If you want to check if there is space left in an event, simply go into
the online registration form and each event lists how many spaces are
available and how many remain. You will receive an email confirming
your registration with additional details about the various events once
you are registered. There is also a link on the Festival registration
page where you can confirm your registration.
Please let me know if you have further questions, and I hope to see many
of you in March!
