Deadline for Registering for the Annual Spring Banquet

Spring is the perfect time for humor and we will have plenty of it on Tuesday, March 31st (the day before April Fool’s Day). Our annual spring banquet will be held on Tuesday, March 31st at Highland Community College and we are delighted to have Christopher Benda (a.k.a. Illinois Botanizer) presenting our program this year. Chris has been teaching about plants for over 12 years and during that time has developed a unique teaching style that includes lots of puns, jokes, and whimsical pop culture references.

The program is sure to keep you entertained and equipped with fun ways to learn about plants and teach others about plants. Join us for a great meal with locally raised turkey from Hollyhock Hill Farms in Sterling and sweetcorn from Drake’s Farm in Baileyville and a program that is sure to add some light humor to your day! Not to mention you will be all set for April Fools Day!

The deadline for reserving your meal for this event is March 21st, however reservations are not necessary to attend the program (no meal) which starts at 7:30 p.m. Further details about the banquet can be found at nwilbirdnaturealliance.org or by calling Tim at 815-835-5109. The cost for the program only is $5 for adults with no charge for children and students.
