Festival of the Cranes

Greetings! The harvest is in progress and we are very excited seeing all the sunflower seeds stacking up! 

The Sunflower Project will be attending the 25th Festival of the Cranes at Bosque del Apache this year selling, you guessed it, bird seed! We will be there on Friday, November 16th to Sunday, November 18th.

Check out the Festival of the Cranes website to see all the interesting events going on that weekend.

Of course, no one could witness this great event if not for the Bosque del Apache wildlife reserve.

See you there!! 

Thank you Jane Moorman of NMSU Communications for producing this video of the First Annual Sunflower Festival:
