May Programs

Hello All,

We have a couple of May programs coming up. The first is on May 2, 2009 at Russell Cave National Monument near Stevenson, Alabama. We will be doing a program at 1 p.m. CDT for the Native American Festival. If you want to see our show and learn more about Native American culture of our region, come on out and enjoy. Next, we will be at Dunbar Cave State Park near Clarksville, Tennessee, for their annual Spring Fling. Our program here will be at 10:00 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Come on out and fling some spring with us! Our Rock City Raptors 5th season begins on Thursday May 21st (this is Memorial Day Weekend) and we will be at Rock City (http://www.seerockcity.com/) Thursday-Sunday through Labor Day Weekend. Showtimes are at 11, 1. 3 EDT with an additional program at 4:30 on Saturdays. We hope to see you at one of these events. Thanks!

Hello All,

We are in our third weekend of Earth Dayz at Rock City http://www.seerockcity.com/. We recently finished nine days at the Critter Classroom with weather ranging from the sunny 70's to snow midweek to violent thunderstorms on Friday. These thunderstorms brought down two trees near our theatre, but the crew at Rock City did a great job cleaning everything up so we could do our shows on Saturday. We are sharing the theatre with Chattanooga storyteller, Jim Pfitzer. Jim has worked with raptors in the past and tells the crowd about an eagle that returns 17 years later (it was a banded bird). The Bald Eagle was found on the ground with no apparent injuries, but was not feeling well enough to fly. However, the story has a happy ending and ultimately returns to freedom. Jim is also building, with the audience's help, a life-sized eagle nest, near the Critter Classroom. It is taking shape and looks very authentic. So, come on out, see our shows, listen to Jim's facinating story, and help with the nest. We will be there April 16th-19th and April 23rd-26th. Thanks!
