Guess what’s happening Saturday in Hyde Park in Chicago for the first time ever? A BEAVER FESTIVAL that’s what. Last year Nina Khan made a trip to our festival and fearlessly walked around the event with her suitcase in tow. She evidently liked what she saw, and arched right back to work with the Illinois Beaver Alliance and make one of her very own. We’ve been talking over the phone about event insurance details. tail sizes and scheduling. Like the pizza, the Chicago style Beaver Festival has a much much thicker crust than ours.
It’s a jam packed event with lots of student. naturalist and natural history involvement and I’ll post the program later so you can zoom in on the whole thing. The park is 300 times the size of Susana Park. The very idea gives me a panic attack. I can’t even imagine,. For now can we just bask in the glow of her acknowledgment to Amy Hall and Worth A Dam?
Have a fantastic event Nina and Rachel and your much admired merry minions! Chicago doesn’t even know what’s about to dazzle them.
