It is with great pride that I wish to report that Cape Coral Friends of
Wildlife’s Sixth Annual Burrowing Owl Festival was a huge success! Through
the hard work of many people our event attracted an estimated 3000 people,
the largest crowd to date. New this year was the butterfly presentation and
live exhibit, bat presentation, live music, and the connector inspector for
the children. We wish to thank the Cape Coral Parks and Recreation Dept. for
all their assistance, Cape Coral Chamber of Commerce, and all the Exhibitors
and Vendors. Special thanks to all Friends of the Festival for their in-kind
donations/monetary donations.
