Arbuckle-Simpson Nature Festival planned for May 7-8 in Tishomingo
Some interesting information about an event down in Tishomingo, the Fourth Annual Arbuckle-Simpson Nature Festival. Got this from the state Tourism Department. Have a read and see if this is something you’d like to attend.
WHAT: This two-day outdoor experience will showcase the rich diversity of the plants, animals, birds, geological formations and history in south-central Oklahoma. This festival is a multiplicity of not only informational and educational field trips but also some hands-on workshops will be included. On Saturday, choose from a list of workshops that include bird feeder building to T-shirt tie-dyeing.
WHEN: May 7-8. We start early with sign-in at 7 a.m., with early events starting at 7:30 each morning.
WHO: Birders, bikers, hikers, wildlife enthusiasts, ecologists/biologists, artists, photographers, researchers, students, teachers, conservationists and families.
Young or old, there is something for everyone from the novice birder to the most experienced nature enthusiast.
WHY: This festival’s program includes field trips and informative seminars that will ultimately provide participants opportunities to explore private property treasures rarely available to visitors of the Arbuckle-Simpson area of Oklahoma. Through field trips and hands-on instruction, see a side of the Arbuckle-Simpson area that is available only by attending the festival.
