The Second Annual Mendota Hawk Festival is being held this Saturday, October 2, (tomorrow), at the Mendota Community Center, Mendota, VA. This is a community fesitval sponsored by the citizens of the Mendota area. The Bristol Bird Club will have a booth, participate in a program with Bays Mountain staff on hawks and hawk migration; and lead three tours to the Mendota Hawk Fire Tower, weather permitting. The tours leave the Community Center at 10:00, 2:00, and 4:00. Transportation will be provided or you can drive up on your own. Come early for a great country breakfast (8:30-10:00). Other activities include antique, craft and flea market vendors, enviornmental & conservation fair, children's games, picking and grinning, applebutter making, country store, grilled burgers and fixings, and storytelling. If you would like to assist with this BBC endeavor, let me know. I plan to be there around 8:00 a.m. to set up and have breakfast. You could help man our booth or lead tours. Come on over for a fun day!
