(WNY Now News) – This Saturday, November 23, Audubon Community Nature Center celebrates its long-standing Thanksgiving tradition with a feast and family-friendly program, all set against the beauty of nature.
Audubon Community Nature Center provides turkey, gravy, and beverages for Thanksgiving with the Birds, a longstanding Audubon tradition that dates back to its founding. This communal Thanksgiving dinner is a group effort, celebrated this year on Saturday, November 23, 11:30 a.m.–2:30 p.m.
In the event’s early days, Audubon’s hardy founders cooked soup in an outdoor pot, brought lawn chairs, and ate their Thanksgiving dinner outside in the brisk, occasionally snowy, air amongst the trees and birds. Now participants are asked to provide their favorite Thanksgiving side dish or dessert and optional soup (broth-based and nothing with seafood, please) to share. Soup will be mixed in the backyard, followed by dinner and a program indoors.
The meal will be served at noon, and the program takes place at 1 p.m. The program features Nature Educator and Animal Care Specialist Emma Roth and Bridgette, the Red-tailed Hawk.
The cost is $8, $6 for Nature Center members and children 3–15, free 2 and under. Paid reservations are requested by Wednesday, November 15, and can be made by calling (716) 569-2345 or through Programs and Events at AudubonCNC.org.
