Description

Similar to 2024, our Saturday pinnacle will be less formal, more casual, and like a swoop of cranes… gathering to eat, socialize, have fun, and hear about “Honoring Bob Sallinger: Back to the Birds.” For 30 years Bob Sallinger played a crucial role in bird and wetland conservation across Oregon, particularly in Harney County. With his passing in 2024, the festival planning committee decided we’d like to honor Bob and his contributions to our basin. Because Bob was a fan of interspersing humor with all serious matters, of building community, and of celebrating birds, we’ll be offering a light-hearted social time mixed with an opportunity to learn how you can support birds and bird conservation in the Harney Basin and beyond.

A taco bar (including vegan proteins) will serve the masses and a full, no-host bar should keep the evening light and entertaining. Tentative evening schedule:

4:30 – Cocktail almost-an-hour
5:15 – 6:00 Community Science is for the Birds
6:10 – 6:30 Bird Call Contest
6:40 – 7:10 Bird-o (Birder bingo)
7:20 – 7:50 Name that Bird
7:50 – 9:00 Social

Join us for this casual, fun, and fascinating event! Game participation is not required, only encouraged. Prizes will be awarded by way of AMAZING donations from our supporters.

$30 / person, Saturday, April 12, 5 to 9 p.m.  |  75 spots available
Location: Valley Golf Club – 245 US-20, Hines, OR 97738
