BLUEBIRD FESTIVAL A GREAT SUCCESS!

​Ellis Bird Farm hosted a very successful Bluebird Festival on Saturday June 8. Our thanks to the following: Jazz Explosion for providing musical entertainment, Susanne Maidment for setting up her hummingbird banding station, Nature Alberta for their Nature Kids display, Red Deer River Watershed Alliance for their station at the pier, and Susan Manyluk for her Holme Hus Antique booth.  A special thanks to all the volunteers who endured the heat with smiles, and for our amazing EBF staff who scurried all day long. ​
