Migrate to see the Eagles

Fun Fridays Holiday Potluck and Owl Program

Join us as we migrate to the Mississippi River to do some eagle watching. Lunch will be at Jumers Casino. Have time to do some gambling at Jumers before we go to see the eagles. Please note the early departure and late return times and make sure to have your driver’s license or state ID with you. Cost includes Jumers buffet, gaming, motor coach transportation and eagle viewing. (JHP) (MG)

Join us for our annual Fun Fridays potluck as we celebrate the holidays. We will have a presentation by the Willowbrook Wildlife Center on owls, and they will bring some of these magnificent creatures with them for the program at 12:30 p.m. In the spirit of the season, we will have a wish list of items Willowbrook needs; if you would like to bring any donations to the potluck, it would be greatly appreciated. We will also ask for suggestions for future Fun Friday trips and have some raffles. Please bring a dish to pass of your choosing. (JHP)
