| The
Georgia Falconry Association will be manning exhibits
at JAKES Day at both the Smithgall Woods Conservation
Area on Saturday, May 9, 2009 and
at
the Charlie Elliott Wildlife Center on Saturday, May
16th, 2009. We need several falconers
with
birds
on hand to meet the
public
and answer questions.
For the Smithgall event, plans are to meet at the Huddle
House in Helen at 8 AM for breakfast. If you can't make
it
for
breakfast
you
will need to arrive in time to be set up
no later than
9:30
AM. For the Charlie Elliott event, you need to be there
in time to be set up by 9:30 AM.
They
are expecting a good number at both events and this
is an excellent opportunity to educate the public about
falconry.
