As part of the annual Wildlife Week celebration at Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Saturday’s festivities featured plenty of vendors and the always popular Canadian Raptor Conservancy shows. In the top left photo, Emmy Sauve of the Harrow 4-H Rabbit Club holds a Himalayan rabbit at the Jack Miner Bird Sanctuary’s Wildlife Week event on Saturday, April 12. The club had a booth at the event, displaying their rabbits and providing educational information on breeding and displaying them.

Annual Wildlife Week observed at Miner Sanctuary Cool but pleasant weather brought hundreds of people out to celebrate National Wildlife Week at the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary all throughout last week.
With activities planned for each day, the event ramped up on the weekend with Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 11-13, offering numerous activities, including an art show
and sale, an outdoors-related sale, numerous vendors, children’s crafts and tours of the Miner home and museum. The Canadian Raptor Conservancy was also on-hand to dis-
play some of their raptors and put on three very informative shows on Saturday. The Arts Society of Kingsville was set up with a show and sale in the
stadium, and the stadium also hosted a movie night on Friday evening. On Thursday, April 10, celebratory cupcakes were offered to celebrate Jack Miner’s 160th birthday.
